The Rise of Sticky Chai in New Zealand Cafes: Why Baristas Love It

Over the past few years, New Zealand cafés have become known for more than just great coffee. A new star is emerging on the menu: sticky chai. This delightful blend of spiced tea leaves, honey, and warmth is capturing the hearts of baristas and customers alike. But what exactly makes sticky chai such a hit in cafés across Aotearoa?

A Barista’s Dream

Sticky chai isn’t just a flavour sensation; it’s also barista-friendly. The rich texture, infused with honey and spices, makes it perfect for steaming with milk to create a velvety, aromatic chai latte. Unlike powdered or syrup-based alternatives, sticky chai retains the authenticity of whole spices, ensuring a superior cup every time.

A Customer Favourite

For customers, sticky chai offers an indulgent yet healthy treat. Made with natural ingredients and free of artificial additives, it’s the perfect pick-me-up on a chilly morning or a relaxing alternative to coffee in the afternoon.

A Growing Trend

From small independent cafés to bustling urban spots, sticky chai is making its mark. Café owners find that offering high-quality chai attracts a broader audience of tea enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers.
