About the Campaign:

Kids don’t tend to drink tea, but here in SUKI HQ we are constantly reminded of the expanding root system of our trade with tea gardens across the globe and the families we work with as we live and breathe alongside these communities, every time we think about a cup of tea. The children, at the heart of these tea communities, are the focus of TEA KIDS— making a positive impact beyond 'Big Leaf Big Flavour' tea.

We’re proud to announce project TEA KIDS, our charitable initiative focused on providing fortified nourishment towards a better future, helping children in tea-growing communities for a fairer world. We are committed to making the UN Sustainable Development Goals a reality.

Let us introduce you to the heart-warming One Cup of Porridge project and how choosing SUKI does better for the tea community.

The One Cup of Porridge Project:

‘Every child is born with a curiosity about the world around them, but they need the right balance of support to help them learn and to grow. Above all, children need roots of learning in place so that they can thrive and flourish’ - Annie.

Every time you choose SUKI TEA you are helping us donate to Tea KidsTM ‘One Cup of Porridge’ program, providing pre-school tea kid children with a fortified cup of porridge, 'breakfast in a cup', in a safe and nutritious learning environment. And in turn, enabling their parents to work, especially mothers, knowing their children are in a place where their ‘roots’ of learning can happily, and safely, grow. To date, our donations have provided over 100,000 cups.

One Cup of Porridge project is based in Rwanda, one of our most esteemed tea gardens we regularly source from. Through this initiative, we support local organisations in tea-growing regions to provide 'breakfast in a cup' to children in a pre-school environment. This vital nutrition helps support healthy development and fuels their dreams. The TEA KIDS goal is to expand projects like One Cup further afield to other tea gardens and growing regions that we have worked closely with for decades in our sourcing.

In tea-growing areas, communities face socio-economic challenges, and children often bear the brunt of food insecurity. By supporting TEA KIDS and the One Cup of Porridge project, we directly address this issue. Together, we strive to make a positive impact, ensuring that children have access to a nutritious meal, fuelling their potential for a brighter future.

Through fair trade practices, we build strong, sustainable partnerships, fostering long-term relationships based on mutual respect. By choosing SUKI, you become part of this journey, positively impacting the lives of tea farmers and their families. Together, we can create a more equitable tea industry.

Your simple act of enjoying a cup of tea transcends boundaries, creating positive change and supporting the well-being of children in tea-growing communities. Together, let's raise our cups and spread the message of a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Thanks, maybe next time

MINT CHOCOLATE CHAI

Why You Should Try Mint Chocolate Chai Tea

April’s Tea of the Month is here, and we’re absolutely delighted to introduce a flavour that’s perfect for both tea lovers and chocolate fans alike – Mint Chocolate Chai Tea. As if we needed another excuse to indulge in chocolate this month, this delicious blend brings the best of both worlds: the rich, spiced notes of chai, balanced with the refreshing, cool zing of mint and the indulgent sweetness of chocolate.

A Perfect Fusion of Flavours

Imagine the comforting warmth of a traditional chai, with its signature spiced kick of cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger, but with a luxurious twist. This Mint Chocolate Chai is infused with rich cocoa beans and a hint of refreshing peppermint, creating a drink that’s both soothing and energising. The combination of spices, chocolate, and mint is a match made in heaven, offering a flavour profile that’s familiar yet surprisingly new. It's like enjoying matchsticks and After Eights, but better!

The chocolatey chai flavour hits your palate first, followed by the cooling sensation of mint, and all the while, the spicy undertones of chai are present, weaving through every sip. It’s the kind of tea you’ll want to curl up with during chilly afternoons or serve at your next afternoon tea gathering.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup

If you're wondering how best to enjoy this delicious concoction, we’ve got you covered. Here are two simple ways to make the most of your Mint Chocolate Chai Tea:

The Original: For a traditional brew, simply infuse one heaped teaspoon per cup of Mint Choc Chai in freshly boiled water. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes to unlock the full depth of flavour. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the perfect cup.

The Steamer: For a more indulgent treat, place one heaped teaspoon of Mint Choc Chai into a tea sac or infuser and steep it in a small cup of freshly boiled water (roughly the amount of a double espresso shot). Brew for up to 8 minutes. Then, steam some milk and combine it with the brewed tea. Serve with a cinnamon stick for an added touch of spice and elegance.

What Makes It Special?

Mint Chocolate Chai Tea blends the warmth of chai with the richness of chocolate and the refreshing coolness of mint, offering a truly unique tea experience. Whether you're enjoying it with a sweet treat or simply on its own, this tea is versatile and incredibly satisfying.

Perfect Pairings:

Milk Chocolate: The creamy sweetness of milk chocolate pairs wonderfully with the spiced chai, creating a harmonious balance of flavours.
Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam: This British classic complements the spicy notes of chai beautifully, making it an ideal snack for afternoon tea.
Sweet Treats: Cookies, brownies, pastries—any of your favourite sweet delights will pair perfectly with Mint Chocolate Chai Tea.
On Its Own: Of course, you can enjoy this tea just as it is—whether warm, iced, or at room temperature, it’s a delightful beverage all on its own.

Health Benefits of Mint Chocolate Chai Tea

Not only is Mint Chocolate Chai Tea a delicious indulgence, but it also offers a range of health benefits. Black tea is known for its high levels of antioxidants, which can help protect your body from free radical damage. Mint, too, has numerous health benefits, including aiding digestion and reducing inflammation. So, you can feel good about treating yourself to a cup or two!

The Perfect Springtime Sip

Whether you're craving something comforting and familiar or looking for a fun twist on your usual chai, Mint Chocolate Chai Tea is the perfect choice for this time of year. Its blend of rich chocolate, refreshing mint, and spicy chai will leave you feeling cosy and satisfied.

Give it a try – you won’t regret it!
