    "content_text": "The pale, creamy cousin of a chai hot chocolate: instead of dark chocolate, white is melted into the milk, so you get butter and vanilla notes rather than deep cocoa. A vanilla chai powder and a scrape of fresh pod push the vanilla right to the front. Softer and sweeter than the dark version, it is the sort of thing for a cold evening on the sofa.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
