The history of Sticky Chai
ā What Is Sticky Chai?
Sticky Chai is a modern take on traditional Indian masala chai. It combines tea leaves, spices & honey into a thick, sticky blend that's easy to brew & packed with flavour.
š Where It All Started
Masala chai has been enjoyed in India for centuries. It's brewed with black tea, milk, & spices like cardamom and ginger. Sticky Chai, however, is a much more recent invention.
š A Modern Invention
Sticky Chai emerged in the early 2000s in Australia, where baristas wanted a chai that was more authentic than powders or syrup. Mixing spices & tea with honey created a ready to use blend that locked in flavour and aroma.
šÆ The UKās First Sticky Chai
Bird & Blend introduced the UKās first Sticky Chai. Using eight spices & wildflower honey, the recipe quickly became a fan favourite & even won a Great Taste Award!
šæ Whatās Next?
Since then, weāve expanded the range with seasonal and limited-edition blends inspired by our most loved teas.

Perfect for a cold winter’s day
"Stopped by at the Garage market in Chilwell today and picked this up for my partner. She LOVED it. Not a big hot drink fan but said the spice was the perfect amount so it doesn’t burn your mouth but makes you feel extra toasty. The only reason it’s not 5/5 is the chocolate flavour could be a bit more obvious."
Too much chilli
"Similar to a different reviewer, I also tried this chai in-store and absolutely loved it! Bought a pack and just haven't been able to replicate it. I've tried different ratios of the chai, different methods of brewing and still it is far too spicy; the chilli just completely overpowers, making it undrinkable. Very disappointed as this was my first of Bird & Blend's sticky chai I've tried, and I'm usually a big chai drinker! Not this one, unfortunately."
One of my favourites
"This tea is perfect for people that like a bit of spice. The chilli kick that you get once you swallow it alongside the spice flavour is divine. Also, very good for when you have a cold or a sore throat (it got me through a really bad one). Now that I live in Spain I find myself missing it so much š"
Not as good as the other sticky chais
"I loved drinking the Gingerbread Sticky Chai throughout last winter and I liked the Traditional Sticky Chai as well. I had similar hopes for this one, but I was quite disappointed and am really struggling to drink it. I find the chili note far too strong and it overpowers the other flavors. I was hoping to taste more of the chocolate flavour and other spices but I couldn’t at all."
My perfect tea!
"I love spicy tea. I have this as a black tea rather than with hot milk and all the frills and it has a definite kick that warms you from the first sip. For me, the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Move over hot chocolate. . . this is my new autumn treat."
Very disappointed
"I tried this Chai in the store and it was amazing, sticky, chocolaty and the right amazing of spice from the chilli. Then I made it at home and it just tasted like water with milk and too much chilli. I tried different methods and ratios but nothing came even close to what it tasted like in the store."
Spicey and yummy!
"Such a great balance of chilli. Love this blend and would recommend to anyone who likes a chilli hit of flavour"
