This cosy season, we’re celebrating the magical world of tea with a new tea powder not seen before in our collection. Say hello to Vanilla Kafe Hawaij Tea Powder!
Kafe Hawaij is a versatile traditional Yemeni spice blend often used to add warmth & spice to beverages such as coffee or even in meals & baking. Along with its aromatic, spiced yet sweet flavour, we loved the symbolism of hospitality & warmth often associated with Kafe Hawaij, and so have created a B&B spin on the recipe that celebrates its traditional roots.
Our version includes a blend of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, & nutmeg along with a vanilla twist to create a smooth, caffeine-free tea powder that can be prepared & enjoyed any time of day.
Lovers of our chai blends & our other tea powders won’t want to miss this. Like chai, Vanilla Kafe Hawaij has a gently spiced flavour profile that’s perfect for the change in season. Whisk it up as a hot, frothy latte with oat milk & a dash of cinnamon for a warming hug in a mug, or serve over ice with milk or water for a hydrating boost.
Vanilla Kafe Hawaij Tea Powder is part of our limited edition cosy collection, brimming with gently spiced autumnal magic to sip all season long.
I didn’t read the ingredients list before purchasing. I was just seduced by the description. I tried making a chai-like drink first, with just this powder - biggest coughing fit ever!
Then I tried adding a matcha spoon amount into sticky chai - better but gritty.
Finally found a use for it - I add a matcha spoon sized scoop into the milk frother & it creates spiced milk for topping my sticky chai.
It’s going to last a long, long time though. I think calling it tea powder is a misnomer as there isn’t any tea in it. Next time, I’ll read the ingredients list so I know what to expect!

Incredibly polarising
This tea has a... very strong and distinctive flavour. Personally, I found it to be gritty and overly spicy, which made it difficult for me to enjoy as I would cough my lungs up. However, my mum appreciated its spiciness very much! It seems that preferences vary greatly from person to person. I plan to purchase more for my mum, but for myself, I think I would definitely prefer to explore other options in the future.

Hi Adrian,
Thank you so much for your review! This blend definitely has a bit of a kick - I would recommend using a bit less powder, and making as a hot oat milk latte with a bit of vanilla syrup to soften it slightly!
I am so glad your mum is a fan and able to enjoy the powder! However, do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@birdandblendtea.com if we can assist with anything else :)
