Despite the name, vanilla is the supporting act here, not the lead: this is cinnamon-driven at 40 percent, all baked-cookie warmth, with ginger behind it and the Madagascan vanilla adding a soft creamy roundness rather than dominating. There is no tea of any kind in it, not even rooibos, so it is genuinely caffeine-free, a true nightcap chai. Sweetness comes from liquorice and fennel, which means a faint aniseed thread runs through it; fine for most, worth knowing if that is not your thing. Organic, cosy, and best with a splash of milk.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Preparation: drop one bag into a 250ml mug, top with water at 95 to 100 degrees and steep a full five minutes. It drinks well black, but it is at its best with a splash of hot milk for a proper vanilla chai latte.
Curator notes: rated four point six out of five, the sweet organic vanilla chai in the Pukka range. Packaging information must be checked on the current UK pack.
