As late Autumn/Winter approaches, it is definitely the season for brewing up some yummy chai. We offer 5 different chai variations through our online store, all utilising real tea bases and fresh whole spices. We also have a locally blended sticky chai for those who visit our retail store in Mornington.

The best way to brew chai is using a briki pot on the stove. Traditionally used for coffee in the Mediterranean and Middle East, this method will ensure the most flavour from your chai. Measure one soup spoon of chai mix per person into the pot. Add a splash of hot water and leave for one minute. Then, pour in cold milk and set on the stove. Simmer until heated through. You can then set aside to infuse flavour for a few minutes longer. Strain into a mug and you're done. Enjoy! 

Our feature coffee of Spring 2024 is Prodigal's 'Peru Chirinos'.

This single origin coffee surprised us, as we haven't brought in Peruvian coffee in years. With a flavour profile of vanilla, hazelnut and peach, it drinks wonderfully black or with milk. It is also particularly lovely paired with alternative milk, with our morning coffee consisting of oat milk and working so well with the Peruvian. 

Prodigal Coffee Roasters is our newest roaster, established in 2019, and their coffees walk off our shelves week after week. Based in Somerville, we get deliveries weekly so that we can provide the fresh stuff. Besides the Peruvian, other sell out coffees from Prodigal are the Colombian Finca Buena Vista and their seasonal blends, such as the Spring blend at the moment.
