About Mocha Chai

Mocha Chai pairs two beloved comforts: cocoa and masala chai. It blends the round, bittersweet depth of chocolate with black tea simmered in milk and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and clove.

Origins

While traditional chai has roots across the Indian subcontinent, the “mocha” addition is a modern café adaptation. It borrows the chocolate note familiar from espresso mochas and marries it to chai’s warming spice profile.
