When you’re in the mood for a decadent treat, S’mores Chai is the answer to your cravings. Made with pu’erh tea, it’s both strong, sweet and stands up to the froth.
If you love a classic blend, and who doesn’t, you can’t go wrong with this creamy take on one of the most traditional teas around. Enjoying it as a latte is just the froth on top.
