Proudly brought to you by Prana Chai
As a chai lover there’s nothing worse than ordering a chai tea and seeing the café owner reach for the jar of instant powder.
Those sugar-laden, powdered chai imitations that are served up rampantly across thousands of Australia cafes do not compare to the real deal.
Which is why I usually reserve my chai drinking to home. Because I appreciate a real chai and I want a great one. Because a good cup of chai is so much more than just a tea break. It’s like a little mini-retreat for your soul. And so I use my chai tea time as my own little self care ritual.
For centuries tea has had a long and proud history as a ritual. Across many countries tea ceremonies have formed as a means of both self-care, and care for others.
Take chai tea for example, more accurately known as Masala Chai, it has its roots in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of Indian culture. Ayurveda takes a whole person – body, mind and soul – approach to health and wellbeing – which makes chai the perfect blend for a mindful break.
Our friends at Prana Chai know this, which is why they sent us some of their amazing, hand-made Masala Chai blend to trial. In a world of mass production and artificial ingredients, Prana Chai has none of that.
The Prana team remains committed to creating and delivering a quality product, with whole food natural ingredients, and no additives or preservatives. From hand-roasting their secret blend of spices to hand sealing their packages, the whole Prana Chai production process is carefully curated to ensure as much “Prana” or “life force” is infused into the product as possible.
“A good cup of chai is so much more than just a tea break.”
The first thing you notice when you open a package of Prana Chai is the amazing aroma that bounds straight out at you. The unmistakable scent of cardamon, star anise and honey transports you to another place.
What is also great about chai is that the distinctive flavours work so well with non-dairy milk options. For those of us with lactose issues, we can make our chai with soy, almond or even coconut milk. The spice flavours balance out the strength of these alternative milks really nicely.
It only takes a few minutes and then you can sit down and just drink your tea. Take a deep breath of that amazing scent, before you take your first sip. Feel your insides warm up as the Prana, the life force, makes its way down to your belly. (Did I mention Chai makes the perfect winter drink? The weather is starting to turn after all…)
As Mums, we’re renowned for being easily pulled into the vortex of multi-tasking. We’re constantly thinking and acting on behalf of one, two or more other people. We always seem to have a million browser tabs open in our brain at every waking moment and we’re constantly ticking things off, and adding things to, our mental to-do list. It’s no wonder we’re exhausted. This busy-ness drains us of our life force.
But what would happen if you took a Prana Chai tea break every single day? Would it change your mindset? Would it inject some life force back into your world. Would it change your life? Grab yourself some Prana Chai and find out.
If you’ve never made chai before, it’s super easy! Watch for yourself how to make yourself a cup of Prana Chai at home.
- Place two or three heaped teaspoons of Prana Chai into a Turkish pot.
- Fill with one cup of your favourite milk (we recommend soy milk).
- Heat over the stovetop until it is hot (but under simmering).
- Using a mesh strainer, pour your tea into your favourite tea cup.

I love the aroma of a freshly made tea , and Chai smells fantastic when made .
Chai reminds me of home and family. Is there anything better than that?
I love the smell of Chai. It is relaxing, let alone the taste. So versatile, as it can be used with a variety of milks, still tasting so flavoursome! I fell in love with Chai on a trip to India, and crave that deep spice taste.
Chai is such a warm welcoming drink it’s like a big hug from your mum in the morning
Chai is an aromatherapy session and a delicious drink all rolled into one.

The flavours and aromas of chai are just divine and makes it easy to relax and enjoy a little indulgence!
Everything. It just feels like it’s time to chill out when I smell a cup of chai.
It warms the heart and soul with aromatic spices, honey and toasty warm soy milk. It’s the best drink to share with a friend, it opens you up to great conversation.

Chai is so relaxing and calming and tastes so good with all the blended spices and warm milk.
It is hard to find a good chai and many places unfortunately uses powder or syrup which is horrid. Good chai should be in the form of loose leaf never artificial.
I love chai. From its milky creaminess to its lovely warmth from the spices. It’s a special treat for anytime of the day!
Sounds like the perfect cup of chai to warm me through the chilly Autumn and Winter months in chilly Melbourne!

The concept of Ayurveda, where taking a moment for yourself to indulge in a cup of Chai, allows yourself to rebalance and regroup. Something that is especially important to me, being a mum of two and pregnant with our third. Having that moment for my health and well-being and allowing the spices and aroma envelop me to tranquility!

I love the aroma of chai that fills the air when we make it at home
I love the special aroma and taste of chia, that warm feeling that goes through the body and warms even my soul
The blend of spices that instantly relaxes you and brings back memories of exotic holidays.
I love how a chai can warm you up on the coldest of nights! and that aroma is amazing, i can smell it now.
Too many times I’ve bought a Chai & been disappointed by the lack of knowledge of what is a real Chai experience. A short while ago I was an avid coffee conisur, but I now prefer Chai even though I’ve had way too many milky disasters!
I love the smells and flavour of chai as I find it so relaxing.
I’ve only tried instant Chai before and was overcome by the sweetness of it, I’d love to try an all natural Chai to see the difference.

I love the spicy aroma and rich sweet cinnamon flavour of a good Chai and love to sit and savour the unique flavour. It’s more a ritual than just an afternoon cuppa.
I have never heard about Chai, but it sounds yummy.
I absolutely love the aromatic spices in chai and how they just take you somewhere far away with the incredible exotic smells! The Cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and more, just have something much more relaxing to it than ‘just a tea’! Nothing better than snuggling on a cold night with a Chai! Best feeling ever 🙂
Haven’t tried it before but it sounds and smells yummy love a good cuppa would be nice to have some variety
I’m a big lover of chai because I have a very fast paced stressful life and it relaxes me and calms me down

The feeling that drinking a nice hot chai gives me. It’s like my 5 minute escape to my happy place of relaxation.
I will pick Chai tea over a cappuccino any day. The taste is so beautiful & I believe for one than a coffee.
Its tasty and smells devine
To me Chai is warming to the body and soul but it has to be made from true spices.
My partner is slowly converting me.

I love chai the flavours awaken my senses and open my tastebuds to a whole new world
Replacing old bad habits with Chai!!!
I love the whole Chai experience. Starting with opening the jar and being enveloped in those distinct Chai aromas. There’s even something special about boiling the milk on the stovetop, and then finally pouring it through the seive into my prettiest mug. And the taste, yum. It feels like I’m drinking a dessert! Hmm think I’ll go make one now…
I love the smell from opening the packet before you even get to the drinking part. I miss not being near my favourite little tea place as I would have one daily. The chai they try to pass off in chain cafes is full of sugar and no substance. Looking forward to finding my new favourite supplier.
Chai reminds me of my sister.
I love the smell of chi the spices and the milk, and enjoying that first sip
I love how comforting it is yet so healthy!

I love the aroma and spicy smoothness of Chai. It relaxes and soothes my mind body and soul. There truly is nothing else like it to help undo the knots acquired through a stressful day at work or running around after my 3 month old. It truly is the saviour of my day.
I love the creaminess, the hints of spice and how it relaxes me, it’s my afternoon treat for myself.
I find chai is a great pick me up when I’m feeling the mid afternoon slump, much better than a coffee which gives a quick high and then you feel the same way
I love chai so refreshing and delicate. I love using it with my gorgeous white teaset. Who doesn’t love a cuppa and a good gossip magazine!
The best option to replace the caffeine that most of us mum’s use to get through the hectic daily life of children. A soothing ritual that I would love to bring into my home, & my son’s life.
