Curator note · Drink Me Chai
The caffeinated workhorse of the Drink Me Chai range: a proper dirty chai, the spiced latte powder married to 100 percent Colombian microground coffee, so you get chai warmth and an espresso-style kick in one instant cup. Worth being clear, this is the strongest of the range for caffeine, tea plus coffee, so it is a genuine morning jolt, not a wind-down. Convenience-led but it does the job it promises: a quick, frothy coffee-chai with no machine. The one to reach for when you want chai and a wake-up at the same time.

Drink Me Chai Dirty Chai Latte is the espresso-spiked instant chai latte powder from Drink Me Chai, the UK brand, the standard masala chai recipe crossed with a shot of espresso for a cup that drinks like the coffee-shop dirty chai latte, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the easy-make alternative to brewing a proper bagged chai and adding a separate espresso shot.

The base is the standard Drink Me Chai recipe of black tea extract, the four-spice quartet of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves, milk powder for the latte texture and added instant coffee to pull the cup towards the dirty chai direction that the coffee-shop chains have made popular. Spoon two heaped teaspoons into a mug, add hot water and stir, the powder dissolving in seconds to give a frothy chai-and-coffee cup that compares well to the coffee-shop equivalent for a fraction of the price per serve.

Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.

A 200g household pouch at an accessible price compared to the coffee-shop dirty chai latte, the easy at-home alternative to ordering one in a cafe, and a useful pouch for any household that drinks dirty chai regularly enough to want it constantly on tap at home.

The Story Behind the Drink Me Chai

Drink Me Chai was created in 2007 by Amanda Hamilton Stubber and Adam Hamilton Stubber, husband and wife founders who had spent time travelling India and noticed that the proper spiced chai they'd had in Mumbai was almost impossible to find in the UK. They started blending small batches in their kitchen in Yorkshire and have since grown into the UK's best known chai latte brand, still family owned today.
