Zanzibar Chai - Our classic chai, perfected

A refined, full-bodied chai with warming spice, rich cacao and a subtle chilli kick.

Zanzibar Chai is our take on a seriously good spiced chai. It's bold, aromatic and beautifully layered.

We’ve refined the original recipe, creating a more robust blend built around Sri Lankan Orange Pekoe black tea and a generous mix of whole spices. Cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and star anise bring the unmistakable warmth of chai, while Daintree cacao adds a rich, earthy depth. A touch of chilli and black pepper finishes things with a gentle, lingering warmth.

Complex without being complicated, this is chai with a little more attitude.

The flavour

Warm. Spiced. Rich. Aromatic.

Expect a full-bodied black tea base with warming cinnamon and ginger, fragrant cardamom and star anise, earthy cacao, and a subtle peppery heat that builds gently as you sip.

Why we love it

• A robust black tea base — Sri Lankan Orange Pekoe gives the blend body and depth.
• Layered whole spices — cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cassia, cloves, bay leaf, fennel and star anise create a beautifully rounded spice profile.
• Daintree cacao — adds a rich, earthy note that sets this chai apart.
• A gentle kick — chilli flakes and black pepper bring warmth without overpowering the spices.

The ritual

Chai was made for slowing down.

Take your time with this one. Brew it strong, add warm frothy milk and let the spices open up. The cacao brings richness, the spices bring warmth and the chilli leaves just enough heat to keep things interesting.

Perfect for a slow morning, an afternoon pick-me-up or whenever you want something a little more indulgent than your everyday cup.
