Made in Melbourne from the finest fresh and local ingredients, budd is a modern take on a beverage steeped in tradition. Our sticky chai blend is packed with premium loose-leaf ceylon tea, warming traditional spices and the perfect amount of Australian native honey.
Inspired by India’s rich and spicy masala chai – the daily ritual of millions – budd is a simple and delicious blend of tea, herbs and spices, easy to prepare and bursting with health benefits.
We start with a base of the finest loose-leaf ceylon tea, full of antioxidants and believed to have anti-viral properties too. This premium high-grown black tea is picked by hand and has an aroma and flavour that’s second to none.
The secret to a great chai (as any chaiwala will tell you) is in the spice mix. Fresh, whole spices in the Indian tradition, blended to perfection for a rich, flavourful and aromatic cup that tastes as good as it is for you – the budd blend is perfection.
Fragrant cinnamon has wonderful digestive and anti-inflammatory properties and can help control blood-sugar levels and lower cholesterol.
Stunning star anise with its soft liquorice-like flavour is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A & C, it’s also known to reduce nausea and improve digestion.
Found in virtually every traditional Tibetan medicine, delicious cardamom aids digestion, supports the immune system, improves circulation and assists the body to detox.
Cloves, with their characteristically warm, sweet flavour, are the unopened buds of the evergreen clove tree. They have been used for centuries for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.
Ginger, a powerful, delicious and versatile spice, has a long history rich in both medicinal and culinary uses.
Black pepper – one of the most common seasonings in the world – has a long ayurvedic tradition and a host of health benefits that include increasing nutrient absorption and aiding digestion.
Sticky chai is so-named for the addition of honey – in our case, pure Australian native honey that lightly coats the tea leaf and spice blend and infuses the mixture with its gorgeous robust sweetness. A natural preservative, honey has been used in ayurvedic medicine for at least 4000 years, contains antioxidants and flavonoids, is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and has been shown to relieve a range of common ailments.
Chai lovers & perfectionists. Based in Melbourne, Australia’s coffee capital, we wanted the best sticky chai possible and we weren’t satisfied with the local café’s offering – so we made our own.
Using the highest quality ceylon tea, fresh, whole spices and local Australian honey, we
brewed a million cups in pursuit of the perfect one, refining the recipe to make it as simple and delicious as possible, balancing spice and sweetness and strength until we found the golden ratio: the blend that made everybody sigh and say, “hello, budd.”
We created budd because we wanted to drink it, now we’re proud to drink it every day.
