Valley Sticky Chai

Discover a richer way to enjoy chai.

Our Valley Sticky Chai is handcrafted in the Yarra Valley using premium Orange Pekoe black tea, fragrant whole spices and pure local honey. Every batch is gently coated in honey, allowing the spices to infuse deeply into the tea while creating the signature sticky texture that produces an incredibly smooth, café-quality chai.

Unlike overly sweet powdered chai mixes, Valley Sticky Chai celebrates real ingredients. Whole cinnamon chips, fresh ginger root, cardamom, star anise, cloves, fennel and peppercorns slowly release their natural oils during brewing, creating layers of warmth, sweetness and aromatic spice in every cup.

Whether enjoyed on a crisp winter morning or as an afternoon ritual, Valley Sticky Chai is comfort in its most delicious form.

Tasting Notes

Valley Sticky Chai opens with the smooth richness of Orange Pekoe black tea before layers of warming spice unfold across the palate. Sweet cinnamon and honey provide a comforting foundation, while ginger delivers a gentle zing balanced by fragrant cardamom and star anise. Nutmeg and allspice add depth and warmth, fennel introduces a subtle natural sweetness, and black pepper finishes with a delicate lingering heat. The result is a beautifully balanced chai that's bold, aromatic and exceptionally smooth.

Naturally sweet with pure local honey and subtle liquorice-like notes from fennel, balanced rather than sugary.
