Dark Chocolate Chai — Organic Spiced Tea in a Gift Tin
Dark Chocolate Chai is a warm, rich, subtly sweet spiced infusion that marries traditional Indian chai with the deep, roasted character of dark cocoa. Ginger brings warming heat to the base, softened by the natural sweetness of freeze-dried apple and sultanas. Cinnamon, green cardamom, liquorice and crushed black pepper form the classic chai pillars, while a generous 20% of cocoa nibs (finely broken, roasted cocoa bean pieces) adds a dessert-like, cocoa-rich depth.
What makes this chai special?
Traditional Indian chai is prepared with milk and sugar, but this blend is designed to deliver a complete experience even without dairy. The natural sweetness comes from sultanas and apple, so you enjoy a round, soothing cup without added sweeteners. The pairing of cocoa nibs and cinnamon feels tailor-made for cold winter evenings, while cardamom and ginger offer inner warmth — after a sip, you can feel the chill melting away.
Organic quality, clean composition
All main ingredients come from certified organic farms, free of chemical pesticides and synthetic additives. The sultanas are gently treated with sunflower oil to prevent clumping — the cleanest and least-processed form available.
Flavour and aroma profile
The aroma is warm, spicy and softly sweet — cinnamon, cocoa and apple mingle with the promise of a dessert bakery. In the cup, ginger opens with a vivid warmth, followed by the green-spicy character of cardamom and the deep, slightly bitter touch of cocoa nibs. Sultanas and apple add a softly sweet finish, while black pepper offers a gentle, liberating tingle. Plain, it's a dessert in a cup; with milk, it's a fully creamy chai latte.
Who is it for?
Ideal for those who: love spicy, characterful teas; enjoy chai traditions but want a caffeine-free option; seek a warming, comforting ritual in the cold months; want to prepare chai latte at home; or love chocolate and want to experience cocoa in a more grown-up, less sweet form.
How to brew it
Use 2–3 grams of tea per 200 ml of water at 95 °C and steep for 5–8 minutes. The long steep time is important — spices and cocoa nibs release their full aroma slowly. For a creamier experience, brew concentrated in a small amount of water (100 ml), then top up with hot milk or plant-based drink (oat, almond). Sweeten with honey or cane sugar to taste. A drop of vanilla extract or a star anise pod adds a lovely touch.
The metal tin — protective and elegant
The 50-gram premium tin (6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm) is airtight, preserving the aromas of spices and cocoa for months. This matters especially for spiced blends, where fragrance is one of the clearest markers of quality. Its tasteful, discreet appearance looks beautiful on kitchen shelves, in gift sets or on a festive winter table.
