Teapigs was founded in 2006 by two tea buyers who believed that most tea on the market was poor quality - too much dust, not enough leaf. Their Chai is exactly what a proper chai should be - robust Assam black tea blended with whole cardamom pods, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla in a large whole leaf tea temple that gives everything room to fully infuse. All natural, no artificial flavourings, no added sugar. The kind of chai that actually smells and tastes like a spice market rather than a flavoured teabag.
Strong, warming, and spiced with a natural sweetness from the vanilla. The cardamom and cinnamon lead, the ginger adds a gentle heat, and the Assam keeps the whole thing grounded with body and malt. Best drunk latte style - with lots of milk, which brings out the full chai character and softens the spice into something genuinely indulgent.
If you enjoy Teapigs Chai, our Scotch and Abram's Vanilla Chai is our take on that same warming, spiced character - black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla.
