Benares- First on the list is a blend of organic Assam black tea and an array of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves.

Chilli Chai- Chilli chai is an exotic spin on chai as it includes the complexity of Thai spices such as lemongrass, pandan leaf, kaffir lime, and of course chili. The chili kick at the end is one of the standout features of this infusion. The aromas of Southeast Asian spices along with coconut really tie the drink together beautifully. And if the flavours and aroma aren’t reason enough to enjoy the drink, the lemongrass and ginger in the tea boost your metabolism and your immunity too!

Sulaimani Malabar Chai- The organic Sulaimani chai is a unique green tea variation of the widely-popular Malabar spiced chai. The spices included in the infusion are cardamom, pepper, cloves, and spearmint. The tea brews to a stunning golden colour and gives out a delectable, balanced aroma of spices, citrus, and mint. The specialty of this drink is that it brews to multiple layers. The first one reveals delicate spices on the nose. The energizing citrus and mint add a nice strong finish.
