Believe it or not I have only just been introduced to the world of Chai Lattes! Yes I know I am behind the times. To be honest I actually thought it was a coffee – the latte bit threw me off the actual scent that it is tea. Who would have thought? I was recently sent some courtesy of Bondi Chai to try and after getting over the initial shock of it being tea I quite enjoyed mixing it up from the coffee I usually drink. Bondi Chai is available in 2 flavours: Club Cinnamon and Vanilla Honey – they are both quite pleasant and relaxing to drink. The Vanilla Honey is my preferred of the two; I don’t usually like honey but none of the flavours really overpower so it made for a smooth and soft flavour.
If you are thinking that being a creamy ‘latte’ style drink it must be unhealthy well you will be pleasantly surprised with Bondi Chai. It is low in caffeine, 98% fat free, has no trans-fatty acids and is gluten free! I also love how versatile this product is; it’s not only a great hot drink but it also makes for a delicious base in smoothies and frappes. Bondi Chai is available in a boxes of 8 sachet sticks from your local Woolworths – RRP$6.99. For more information visit the Bondi Chai website.

A great cuppa is when you have the girls over for coffee and a catch-up.
If I have REAL coffee I love to have whipped cream on the top. Instant coffee I love a generous teaspoon of condensed milk. In the quietness of my lounge room while the little one is napping.
Allowing the tea leaves to steep, means more time to converse with my loved ones.
A great cuppa is when my partner gets up and makes me a cappucino first thing ..and seeing the smile on my 4yr old daughters face when she has hers (milo).
End of the day, hubby snoring on the couch, kids in bed, facebook on the laptop and a cup of chai latte next to me ….bliss.
A great cuppa is shared with the special person in your life, holding hands, licking froth off lips, perhaps even each others whilst poring over the paper together, then perhaps back to bed for more cuddles after the wonderful caffeine hit
I love my coffee! Its wonderful being able to whip out my pod machine and make a beautiful coffee in a flash. My 2yr old and I will often have ‘cinos’ together (hers is obviously just milk froth lol).
A Great Cuppa is when you only need one to start the day and is tasty but also healthy
A tasty coffee? Milk before water – I’m not sure if its psychological or fact but burnt tasting coffee leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
A cuppa or coffee is when you don’t have to make it yourself.
a great cuppa is one you get to finish while its hot, with six kids that doesn’t happen often
Congratulations! You’ve won – check your email
The way it’s served! A great cuppa for me, is the one enjoyed in bed on a Saturday morning as we snuggle up before the days onslaught of craziness.
I love organic Coffee every morning. With a dash of honey and no milk. But it has to be made by hubby, not me. Not sure what he does but its better when is giving with love.
A great cup of hot chocolate needs to whisked just a little so it’s frothy, then topped with plenty of mini-marshmallows!
mediem strength coffee but milk always goes in first
The best cuppa is when you wake up on a cold rainy morning and sip it slowly in a soft warm blanket by the tv.
A great cup of tea is one that relaxes you after a long day. picks you up when you are sad, comforts you.
Something so simple can make you feel warm when its cold and something that you share with friends and family every day, it can be apart of your fondest memories.
A great cuppa isn’t just about the taste,
It’s about the moment you create.
A fancy mug, some fluffy socks,
Complete silence or your favourite tune
However you love it make sure you create a special moment!
A great cuppa is one where someone else does the washing up!
I sit down with a cuppa that is hot, and my bubba is quiet in his cot,
I take a big sip and hear not a pip!
That is a great cuppa.
At home by myself, I get the day off and I am able to relax on the lounge reading my book and drinking my coffee! PERFECTION!!
what makes a great cuppa is simply you don’t make it! Your friend makes it, good company, the right amount of coffee and sugar blend with MILK first followed with hot water! but not to hot!
The perfect cuppa is at 4am, arsenic hour on a nursing night shift. Most of my work is done and I sit down with my paper work, my Maxwell &Williams china mug and sip on the only thing that is going to get me through til sunrise. What goes in the cup? From 9pm to 3 am nasty hospital sachet instant… after 3am is a warm spiced chai to avoid wide awake caffeine highs when I can finally lay my head down.
I am fussy with my coffee I like it like I like my men- hot, dark, strong and tall. It’s a very hard combination to find 😉
Quality tea and that thing, ummm, it starts with S …. oh SILENCE. I haven’t had any in so long I forgot what it was!
A great cuppa makes its presence known to the whole room by, giving off a scent SO inviting that everyone is envious… or saddling up to be your new best friend.
If laws existed on coffee quality
Regulated by a coffee authority
My chocolate coffee would be no.1 priority
It always wins over the majority
A great hot drink is anything made by a man who is even hotter!! Hello all you barrister men out there !
A great cup of chai is being able to take that first sip and have a smooth foamy texture pour into your mouth, it has to be 40o Celsius for me, and I must be able to take of the lid And lick the extra foam! A good chai is being poured properly and putting love into it!
Soy chai latte with a dash of honey is best served with a stick of cinnamon by the side to ready your taste buds
A great cup of coffee is made with soy milk, chocolate chip cookies and wonderful conversation
A great cup of tea is a chai tea, brewed from scratch, using natural ingredients. The spices and taste are perfect for the cold winter days.
My coffee is my indulgence – but I would love a healthier, tastier alternative.
A great Coffee is my first one of the morning, so yum and peaceful, everyone asleep and I indulge all to myself !! Heaven xx
I liked mad mummas and tagged and shared giveaway xx
when i put in some honey and whiskey
A great cuppa is the one you get for free, when you finally get your VIP card filled despite the fact you can never find it when you’re at the counter.
A chai Latte would be my favorite pick
It’s creamy and always does the trick
All my days worries are given the flick!
the best cuppa is when you don’t have to make it yourself for some reason it always tastes better when someone else makes it for you
When it’s freezing cold out at school and my best friend and I sit around near our lockers and drink hot coffee and mochas!! (We’re year 11)
Coffee is the best cuppa when it’s chilly
And shared link on twitter
My mid morning cup of tea .My husband and I sit on the back patio, our dog waiting just in case we drop a biscuit crumb. It is a pleasant and enjoyable part of our day.
PS Last week I had a cup of Bondi Chai at a local coffee shop. I do not know which flavour it was, but it certainly was good.
A cup of tea on the bedside table, blankets up to my neck, watching Offspring.
I was at a restaurant the other day and ordered a dirty latte, hubby was curious so ordered it. Turns out it was a latte with chai flavours, it was delicious! So I recon that is how to make a coffee awesome.
Warmth! Being a Mad Mumma mine often goes too cold with distraction.
Inhaling roasted malt, caramel, burnt sugar, vanilla, cocoa and sometime confectionery aromas as your coffee brews and then splintering with delight with each sip. This kind of ritual is best done with either toasty slippers on your feet or lazy jazz swirling through the air.
Its time to rethink the drink,and a Bondi latte is great I think
A great cuppa is one that is finished while still warm, unfortunately, with 4 very active boys, that doesnt happen very often, actually, I cant remember the last time it did happen. The sight of me standing in the kitchen pouring myself a cuppa is the cue for them to start thinking up reasons on why they will need my help, and they wait until I sit down on the lounge, cuppa in hand, to begin their requests. Its the exact same thing that happens when I go into the bathroom for a shower or to use the toilet, and the same thing happens when I pick up the phone. I’m really not sure why all their problems and requests have to be solved right that minute, but apparently they do.
I love the idea of a latte but don’t partake often of coffee, Much prefer tea, Chai latte therefore is perfect for me
A great cuppa is the one you amazingly get to drink in peace before the rest of the house wakes up!
A great cuppa is when you make a cup of tea and mix milo into it
Best cuppa is laying in bed watching telly on a cold winters day – with some biscuits to dunk and enjoy.
Oh boo! I missed this great competition. I love Bondi Chai!!!
