Chai tea, a delightful blend of black tea, spices, and sometimes milk, is not only a flavorful treat but also offers a range of health benefits. Packed with antioxidant-rich ingredients like black tea, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom, chai can help combat oxidative stress in the body, supporting overall cellular health. The spices in chai, particularly ginger and cinnamon, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which may aid digestion and reduce bloating. Additionally, the natural compounds in these spices have been linked to improved heart health by helping to regulate blood sugar levels and cholesterol. Chai tea's warm and aromatic profile can also provide a soothing and calming effect, making it a comforting beverage to enjoy while supporting your well-being. Beyond its health perks, chai tea has become a global trend, celebrated for its rich cultural roots and versatility. Its rising popularity in cafes and homes alike reflects a growing appreciation for its unique flavors and wellness benefits, making it a fashionable and health-conscious choice for tea enthusiasts worldwide.
Read why Bondi Chai was awarded in 2021 as the best Chai Latte at the International LuxLife Food and drink awards. And why the likes of Nicole Kidman and Alice Cooper sing the praises of Bondi Chai.
Bondi Chai is even certified for serving to school children and in aged-care facilities and hospitals.
Melissa’s and Martin’s story.
It was love at first sip when we first encountered chai latte during a US holiday two decades ago to join 2 million other people in Times Square to ring in the New Millennium. We were hooked after the first taste of this frothy, sweet and spicy milk drink that looked like café latte but was tea-based and tasted like liquid doughnuts.
It took us about 30 seconds to decide to create our own brand, but it took another 12 months of hard slog to get that new product/brand launched - most of that time being spent on developing our recipes.
With limited cash, no appetite for serious debt and no expertise in food manufacturing/storage or distribution, it made sense to outsource as many parts of the business as possible.
We set Bondi Chai's official birthday as May 5, 2005 (05/05/05), launching with 2 varieties: Vanilla Honey and Club Cinnamon and had to commit to one tonne of each for our first production batch. After one month we'd sold just 17kg. Only 1883kg to go! Gradually we started making inroads into the market.
By 2014 we had established a nation-wide distribution network and several overseas 'beach bead' operations. We had also set sail into the wild world of national retail, winning shelf-space with Woolworths, Coles and Costco Australia-wide.

Our achievements caught the eye of the judges in the Telstra Australian Business Awards, and we were ecstatic to be named the NSW Micro Business of The Year and a National Finalist.That proved to be a watershed for Bondi Chai... within 12 months we were in Shanghai being recognised in the prestigious Stevie Awards (the "Business Oscars") as the Asia-Pacific Food and Beverage Company of The Year and within just a few years our business virtually doubled in size.

The awards kept coming and in 2021 Bondi Chai Latte was named Best Chai Latte in the international LuxLife Food & Drink Awards.
Bondi Chai continues to grow strongly today and has earned a reputation as the gold standard for chai latte in Australia, with more awards for taste and quality than any other product in the category.
One of our greatest pleasures is to travel around the world and hear Bondi Chai being ordered in different languages or hearing super-stars like Nicole Kidman and Alice Cooper singing the praises of Bondi Chai!
We recently launched a third variety – Ginger n Spice – to meet the demand for a 'spicier' blend that could also meet the emerging demand for dairy-free and vegan products.
Bondi Chai is quick and easy to make. It dissolves into all kinds of milk, there's no 'sticky' mess and no hit-or-miss results. You just get a perfect chai latte every time. Our products also tick all the "better-for-you" boxes. They are virtually fat-free, low in caffeine, gluten-free and have no anti-caking agents, preservatives, emulsifiers, colours or trans-fats. Our Ginger n Spice variety is dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
Bondi Chai is also 100% Australian-owned and manufactured (up to 95% of our ingredients are home-grown in Australia). If you are looking for a chai you can call your own? You've found it…

Elsi Australia and Armridge LLC (USA) is proud to be associated with Bondi Chai. We distribute and manage their products to several countries.
