Chai Flavored Fresh Spices
Tasting Notes Cinnamon, Cardamom, Clove
Roast Level

Experience a one-of-a-kind fusion of chai and coffee with our African Spice Blend: a comforting, aromatic twist on traditional dirty chai coffee inspired by the ancient spice routes of East Africa. Along the Kenyan coast, travelers once mixed local African coffee with warming spices for a bold, uplifting drink. We honor that tradition in every cup.

This flavorful medium roast coffee is blended with real, single-origin spices — cinnamon verum (“true” cinnamon), fragrant cardamom, and ground cloves — all sourced directly from small-holder farmers in Tanzania through our partners at Burlap & Barrel.

Smooth, naturally sweet, and never bitter, this spiced specialty coffee delivers delicious notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Add warm milk for a cozy cold-weather drink, or blend with ice for a refreshing spiced frappe. Similar to a churro cinnamon coffee!

Rich in antioxidants and made from ethically sourced Arabica beans, it’s a comforting daily ritual with deep cultural roots.

Fun fact: African Spice was the very first coffee we ever sold! Inspired by the traditional Kenyan drink “Kahawa Chungu”.

Also available in:

Ingredients: 100% Arabica coffee beans, ground cinnamon verum, ground cardamom, ground cloves.

Offered as 12oz. ground bags only.

Taste the Difference
grown in high altitude
Our coffees are cultivated at high elevations, where slower growth allows beans to develop deeper, more complex flavor for a smoother cup.
PURITY IN EVERY CUP
We don’t mask bitterness with artificial flavors. High altitude, rich volcanic soil, and ideal climate conditions produce coffee that is naturally sweet, vibrant, and rich in antioxidants.
Third-Party Tested
Our products are tested to meet high standards for purity and consistency, so every bag delivers the exceptional experience you expect. We prioritize quality at every step.
