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.

Nice balanced blend

I don't know if any tea alone can fully replicate the flavor of a dirty chai with a real shot of espresso, but this comes pretty close! It has a nice balance of the chai spices and coffee flavor, and is perfect with milk and sugar. This has become my go-to morning tea when I need an extra kick to wake me up.
