Mother City Chai is a three-generation recipe of Rooibos Sticky Chai, hand-blended in Melbourne with premium rooibos tea, freshly milled spices, and raw honey.

Rooibos is naturally rich in antioxidants, minerals, and polyphenols that support calm, digestion, and overall wellness. The spices — like ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom — are known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Yes! Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, making Mother City Chai perfect for any time of day or night — even before bed.

Our original blend contains raw honey, which may not suit strict vegan diets. However, it's completely plant-based and dairy-free. A fully vegan option is coming soon.

Yes, Mother City Chai is 100% gluten-free and made with all-natural ingredients — no additives or preservatives.

Based on a 5g serving per cup: a 175g bag makes ~35 cups, a 250g bag makes ~50 cups, and a 500g bag makes ~100 cups.

Our sticky chai recipe is a three-generation treasure, born in Gujarat, India, refined in Cape Town, South Africa, and now handcrafted with love in Melbourne, Australia.

Every batch is hand-blended in small quantities using freshly milled spices, premium rooibos, and raw honey. We never use artificial flavours, preservatives, or additives.

The raw honey naturally caramelizes when heated, creating a rich, sticky texture that clings to your spoon and makes every sip indulgent.

Add Mother City Chai to 150ml water, bring to a gentle boil, add 100ml milk of your choice, stir until the first roll of boiling, then strain and serve. See full brewing guide.

Absolutely! Brew as normal with a little less water, then pour over ice. It's delicious iced with oat milk or coconut milk.

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the spices' aromatic oils.

Mother City Chai has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of production when stored correctly in a cool, dry place.
