Our Story
Chaioz was born from two friends’ passion for chai and everything it represented – comfort, culture, and the joy a cup can bring in a home away from home. The founders met at work, connecting through their shared appreciation of diverse cultures, and a dream of creating a unique Indian-Australian chai experience. With a mission to introduce the magic of this special tea to their beautiful city, Adelaide, the founders embarked on a journey to marry Indian chai culture with the modern Australian palate. Inspired by the vision of curating a cosy space where the people could momentarily escape the hustle and bustle of city life, Chaioz came to life.

Chai Origins
Developed in India for its flavour and potential health benefits, masala chai dates back thousands of years. Although tea was likely introduced to India by traders and travellers from China, the practice of adding spices and herbs to tea to create what we now know as masala chai is uniquely Indian.
-
Our Roots
We wanted to bring a piece of our homeland to the shores of Adelaide, sharing the flavours and traditions that define chai culture. The bustling markets, aromatic spices, and centuries-old recipes passed down through generations are at the heart of what we do.

Ingredients
Traditional masala chai includes a blend of black tea leaves, milk, spices such as cloves, and sweeteners like honey. Cardamom adds an aromatic and citrusy flavour, ginger adds a zesty kick while providing comforting warmth, and cinnamon gives a sweet and woody aroma.
