Reviews
The new recipe just isn't for me :(
"Dark Choc Chilli Chai used to be one of my favourite blends EVER!! The updated recipe doesn't have any of the kick it used to and I've had to stop recommending it as much. I really appreciate that the new tea base it has does a lot for its local community, so I hope lots of people like this version, but it just isn't for me anymore."
Deep, intense and comforting
"I have recently discovered chai tea and this is the best discovery yet. A deeply warming yet fresh flavour with a distinct “kick” from the chilli. The chocolate adds a smooth comforting twist to this wonderful mixture. Perfect for a spicy wake up brew or a smooth evening delight."
One of my absolute favorites!
"You can really taste the chocolate, accompanied by a very subtle, slightly bitter chili note—simply great. However, it’s not a tea I’d drink for breakfast, as I tend to prefer something sweet in the morning. As soon as I’m back in the UK, I’ll be stocking up."
Such a nice spice!
"This is probably my favorite of the chai blends, but it's difficult to say because I love so many. The spice hits in such a cozy way, and it's so warm and lovely. Highly recommend giving it a try."
nice and warming
"I love spicy teas. This one is the perfect bland of chocolate and chilli and definitely warms me up on a cold day"
.
"Absolute autumn dream drink! Dark, spicy and gorgeous…"
Gorgeous Tea
"I was given a sample of this when I bought some other loose leaf in store - and it is my fav of all the ones I got that day. Have already gone back to buy some more. Really nice warming cup for an autumnal morning, lovely with or without some milk/oat milk Not overpoweringly chocolately/sweet but the cacao nibs give it just such a good flavour, and the warming spices are lovely"
Favorite so far!
"Such a punch of a tea! This is my favorite morning cuppa. I'll still my trying the other ones Bird & Blend has to offer, but it's going to take some to beat the chilli goodness of this!"
Makes a cracking cold brew
"I brew this in oat milk for a refreshing drink with a chilli kick. Give it a try!"
Q&A
- Can you brew this in hot milk instead of making as a tea with water and then adding milk?
- Hi Kelly, Great question! You can brew it in your favourite milk, our favourites to use are oat or coconut milk :) Happy Sipping! Claire @ B&B
- calories?
- Hello, The calorie content of all of our teas after the brewing process is lower than needs to be declared on a food label, even the blends with whole fruit pieces and candy hearts. None of our blends have any more than 1g sugar and many have only a trace. I hope that is useful. Andi @ B&B
