About the Tea

Late mornings in Borough Market invite you to take in London’s unique culinary delights. The market offers a multitude of pleasures: rich coffee amidst the scents of gloriously strong tea, spices, and baked breads. Dirty chai was a happy accident in a London cafe. A barista accidentally added espresso to a spiced chai latte. The result was pure magic.

Dirty Chai is a sensory experience like no other. The first sip has thick caramel flavor that mingles with earthy mate and barley. Next, you taste chocolatey coffee and a hint of ginger in the finish. Cardamom and cinnamon brighten this exquisite calico of aromas and flavors.

A tea for lovers of aromatic spices and lattes.

About the Fragrance

August worked with Heretic to create a tea inspired by a fragrance, and a fragrance inspired by a tea. The Dirty Chai Eau de Parfum draws its olfactive inspiration from our Dirty Chai tea. A special extraction of black tea leaves gives this gender-neutral fragrance soft tobacco and hay notes that are nuanced with cardamom, sweet clove and warming ginger. Vanilla, cashmere musk and traces of coffee absolute create the addictive velvety foundation for this gourmand masterpiece. This blend is calming, wonderfully reassuring, and works to promote sensuality.

Roasted Barley Black Tea

Had virtually no coffee beans or cardamom pods. Tasted the yerba mate, black tea, and roasted malted barley but had no chai spice and no coffee taste nor smell both in the bag and made as described. Tried doubling the amount of tea and letting it steep twice as long but no change.

Good scent but overwhelmingly tastes like roasted barley tea... nothing else is strong enough to break through. There were only 2 cardamom pods and 5 coffee beans in the 15 cup bag I received, if that helps.
