Black tea | Contains caffeine
This award winning blend is our absolute favourite sweet treat - chilli chocolate.
Real chunks of decadent dark chocolate are blended in to help melt away the day's worries followed by the warmth of chai & chilli kick to awaken your taste buds. Now with a NEW RECIPE!
In a classic B&B twist, we've blended both traditional Assam black tea & the brightest, most flavourful of teas from Rwanda into this blend - so it tastes good, looks good & does good too.
The tea is carefully sourced from Rutsiro, a garden we are proudly working with to support impact projects that transform lives in the local community. By choosing Dark Choc Chilli Chai, you are helping to fund vital projects for Rwandan tea pluckers, their families & young children.
But be warned, it packs a spicy punch!

"Years ago this was the very first B&B tea we tried and it’s still a real fave. This is not just a winter tea, it’s a spicy/sweet/velvety cup that has just a kick at the end that’s so nice. We have this as a permanent go to though being honest we have a dozen others lined up but there will always be a caddy full of chilli chai. Please try…. so nice!"
"This is a perfect winter drink but I'm enjoying it despite the current heatwave. The dark chocolate works well with the black tea and the chilli kicks in later"
"Flavour lovely , could taste the chilli. However didn’t seem to be a lot of tea in package . Not good value for money."
"Delish, have it with oat milk and it just makes it so creamy! Regular milk is also delish"
"Really enjoyed this tea. Great depth of flavour and just the right amount of chilli."
"This tea is delicious brewed both hot and cold (with milk!). I'm expanding my uses of milks (oat milk, coconut milk, etc. join the ranks of dairy milk and almond milk) and this tea has been perfect for experimentation. It's slightly spicy, but not too spicy. The sweetness is the perfect level. A good alternative to chai for when you don't want overly cinnamon-y!"
"Dark Choc Chilli Chai is so good. The chilli is spicy, but it’s perfect. If you are treating yourself to some squares of dark chocolate with sea salt, with raspberry or you’re going all out with dark chocolate with chilli, this is the tea to brew and sip with it. I am convinced that Dark Choc Chilli Chai would assist to relieve any symptoms of coughs and colds. Bird & Blend make no claims that this cures anything, but I genuinely believe that if you had a cold this would help you and it would help to kick a cough or sore throat. Have some ready for that seasonal sniffles time and inhale it before you sip; you feel better already don’t you? The flavour is decadent. I don’t add milk or sugar, I like it black. The chilli is not hiding, let it be bold and do its thing. Not for people who can’t manage a Flaming Hot Cheeto. If you can’t be in the same room as a chilli, or pick them off your Wagamamas, then this one is not for you; try Snowball, or Chocolate Digestive maybe."
"Lovely warmth to it. Would definitely buy again."
"It was a lot spicer than I thought, it was lovely iced with oat milk. I’m saving it for next time I have a cold to clear a blocked nose."
"Easily the best tea wall regular I've tried, the spice pairs really well with the chocolate, and it smells gorgeous."
