A Different Kind of Chai
A daily ritual. A moment of warmth. A sacred blend.

Sticky Chai is not just a drink. It’s a return to ritual, a cup steeped in tradition and soul.
If you’ve only known chai as a spiced tea bag or a sugary café latte, this is your invitation to meet it in its most sacred form: slow-brewed, spice-rich, and lovingly sticky.
So, What Is Sticky Chai?
At its core, Sticky Chai is a blend of:
Whole spices (like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, fennel, pepper)
Loose-leaf tea (typically black or rooibos: caffeine-free)
Natural sweetener (such as date syrup).
But what makes it “sticky”?
After blending, the spices and tea leaves are coated with a natural sweetener that binds them together into a rich, aromatic mixture.
This infusion process:
Enhances flavour over time
Acts as a natural preservative
Locks in the oils from spices, deepening the brew
Unlike dry chai blends, Sticky Chai feels alive, moist, fragrant, and ready for ritual.
Wellness Benefits in Every Blend
At Sapoi, every Sticky Chai blend is created with functional purpose, not just flavour. Each ingredient carries centuries of healing wisdom:
Why It’s a Ritual
Sticky Chai invites pause.
It’s morning grounding.
It’s evening softness.
It’s a small, sacred moment to reconnect with your breath, your senses, your self.
Spices That Heal
Ginger & black pepper – ignite digestion and circulation
Cardamom – eases bloating and balances mood
Cinnamon & clove – warm the body and stabilise blood sugar
Fennel – cools inflammation and supports detox pathways
Tea Bases That Balance
Black tea – gently energises and sharpens focus
Rooibos – antioxidant-rich and naturally calming
Sweeteners That Ground
Date syrup – mineral-rich and low-GI
This isn’t just spiced tea, it’s a functional tonic, brewed for body, mind, and spirit.
Sticky Chai as Ritual
The beauty of Sticky Chai isn’t just in what’s inside the cup, it’s in how you make it.
This is intentional chai. A ritual in motion.
How to Brew Sticky Chai (The Sapoi Way)
Spoon 1 level tablespoon of Sticky Chai into a small saucepan or measuring cup
Add 100ml of boiling water and stir
Let it brew for 60 seconds to unlock the spices
Add 150ml of hot milk (dairy or plant-based) and stir again
Strain into your cup
Sip, close your eyes, and savour the warmth
Final Sip
So the next time you stir a spoonful of Sticky Chai into your pot, remember:
You’re not just making tea.
You’re tending to yourself.
You’re invoking tradition.
You’re reclaiming pause.
Sticky Chai is where ritual meets restoration. And in a world that rushes, that is sacred indeed.
