Our upgraded version of a Dirty Chai: the drink that appeases both tea and coffee drinkers alike. Warming, spiced chai with rich coffee and a creamy coffee foam.

Start by preparing your Chai Concentrate using the instructions below (or, for foodservice partners, skip this step and simply use our bag-in-box Chai Concentrate), make your Coffee chai and Coffee foam, and then move on to constructing your final drink.
