A strong Earl Grey, a cloud of steamed milk, a dash of vanilla syrup – and suddenly, the world had a tea latte worth writing home about. It stayed beloved for good reason. Earl Grey brings a citrusy bergamot brightness that cuts through the richness of milk. Vanilla rounds everything out, softening the tannins and adding that unmistakable warmth. And...

Gingerbread Chai Latte

Autumn has arrived in Aotearoa, and with it comes the kind of crisp mornings that call for something warm in your hands. This Gingerbread Chai Latte is our answer to the season – built on a bold infusion of Roxy Black, deepened with molasses, and given a proper gingery lift from our friends at Six Barrel Soda.
