A fiery symphony of whole chillies, ginger, and aromatic spices creates a robust and lively flavour profile that is both warming and stimulating.
Chilli Chai is a bold and invigorating tea that takes the traditional chai blend to an exciting new level. The whole chillies add a layer of intensity to the blend, infusing the tea with a spicy heat that is perfectly complemented by the gentle sweetness of the ginger. This marriage of spice and warmth creates a balanced, yet vibrant, foundation for the other spices to shine.
The addition of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star aniseed further elevates the complexity of the tea, with each spice contributing its unique aromatic qualities. Cinnamon brings a touch of sweetness and depth, while cloves lend their warming, earthy notes. The cardamom adds a hint of citrusy sweetness, and the star aniseed infuses the tea with its delicate, liquorice-like flavour, rounding off the blend into a perfectly harmonious cup.
Beyond its bold, captivating flavour, Chilli Chai offers a number of health benefits, particularly from the inclusion of chillies. Rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat in chillies, this tea can help boost metabolism and improve circulation. Capsaicin is also known for its ability to support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and aid in digestion. The ginger adds its own medicinal properties, promoting digestive health and soothing nausea, while cinnamon has been revered for its antioxidant properties and ability to regulate blood sugar levels. The combined health benefits of these spices make Chilli Chai not just a treat for the senses, but a nourishing addition to your daily routine.
Whether enjoyed pure to experience the full strength of its fiery spices or with a dash of milk to soften its intensity, Chilli Chai is a perfect choice for those who crave both bold flavour and a boost to their well-being. Embrace the warmth, embrace the spice, and let this tea awaken both your senses and your spirit.

About Chilli Chai
Chilli Chai is not your average spiced infusion, it’s a bold, full-bodied blend crafted for those who enjoy complexity, heat, and character in their cup. Designed as a modern take on the traditional masala chai, this unique recipe blends warming spices with the bold, unmistakable presence of whole chillies. Each ingredient has been carefully selected not just for its flavour, but for its contribution to a truly invigorating experience.
The blend opens with the fiery warmth of chilli and ginger, delivering a slow-building heat that spreads gently across the palate. This intensity is masterfully balanced by aromatic spices: cinnamon offers a subtle sweetness and a woody depth, cloves bring an earthy, slightly peppery note, while cardamom introduces a fresh, almost citrusy brightness.
Beyond its taste, Chilli Chai brings a wealth of traditional benefits. Chillies, rich in capsaicin, are known for their metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger supports digestion and circulation, while cinnamon and cloves provide antioxidant support and may help regulate blood sugar.
Together, these ingredients create a brew that stimulates the senses and supports well-being, naturally caffeine-free and suitable any time of day.
Enjoy it strong and pure for the full impact of its spice, or add milk to temper the heat and bring out a richer, creamier finish. However you choose to prepare it, Chilli Chai is a bold and comforting infusion that warms from within and delivers a memorable drinking experience with every cup.
Star anise adds a soft, liquorice-like finish that rounds out the blend with elegance. These spices work in harmony to create a cup that is robust and layered, with a flavour profile that evolves as it steeps.
