The nights are drawing in, the air is crisp, and the search for that perfect, warming moment of comfort is officially on. While your coffee choice may be sorted by our Pumpkin Spice Latte, Autumn is the ideal time to delve into the rich, aromatic world of spiced tea.
We are delighted to put the spotlight on one of our most flavourful creations: the Bombay Chai Organic Black Tea Pillows. Ready to transport your senses and make the most of the Spooky season? Recipe included below on how to make your new favourite Autumn drink
Warming Spices: The Taste of Autumn
What makes a traditional spiced black tea so perfect for this time of year? It’s the comforting blend of aromatic spices that instantly transports you somewhere warm and cosy.
Our Bombay Chai is a blend of traditional Indian organic black tea full of rich, warming spices. When you brew a cup, the beautiful aromas of cinnamon, cardamom, and clove rise from the mug for a full-bodied blend. Perfect for a cosy Autumn evening spent by the fire.
The Java Republic Organic Tea Difference: Quality in Every Pillow
At Java Republic, we approach tea with the same dedication to quality and transparency as our hand-roasted coffee. Our customers trust us for premium ingredients, and our Bombay Chai is no exception.

Brew It Your Way: Luxurious Bombay Chai Fog
While our Bombay Chai is fantastic brewed simply with hot water, this spiced tea pillow is versatile enough to star in a favourite Autumn drink: the homemade Chai Fog. A "tea fog", which is made with tea of your choice, steamed milk, and honey, maple or vanilla syrup to taste. It is called a "Fog" because the steamed milk poured into the tea creates a visually foggy effect.
How to Make Your Bombay Chai Fog at Home:
- Prep: Place one Bombay Chai pillow in your favourite mug and add just enough boiling water to cover the pillow (about 1/3 of the mug).
- Brew: Let it steep for 4-5 minutes, allowing the black tea and spices to fully infuse. Remove the pillow.
- Sweeten: Add a small amount of honey, maple or vanilla syrup if desired.
- Finish: Top up the mug with hot milk (dairy or plant-based will work perfectly).
- Enjoy: Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
If you're looking for a luxurious, authentic, and naturally comforting cuppa to see you through the Autumn evenings, look no further.
