Wholesale Sticky Chai FAQs
What is sticky chai, and why are cafés adding it to their menus?
Sticky chai is loose-leaf black tea and whole spices bound together with honey. It’s brewed into milk and strained, which gives a naturally sweet, aromatic chai with more texture and depth than a powder. Customers see it as a premium chai, so it works well as a signature drink or a step up from a standard chai latte.
What’s the difference between sticky chai and chai powder for a café?
Sticky chai is a honey-coated loose-leaf blend that you brew and strain, so it suits venues that want a crafted, premium serve. Chai powder dissolves straight into milk for faster service at high volume. Many cafés stock both: powder for speed, and sticky chai as the premium option.
What pack sizes are available for cafés and wholesalers?
Arkadia sticky chai comes in a 1kg blend for high-volume venues and a 250g pack for trialling or lower volumes. There’s also a 1L ready-to-pour chai concentrate (about 33 serves) for busy service and iced drinks.
Can I buy Arkadia sticky chai wholesale for resale or distribution?
Yes. Arkadia supplies cafés, hospitality groups, distributors and retailers. Contact Arkadia Beverages to discuss trade pricing and distribution, or find an existing Arkadia stockist near you.
Do cafés need to add sugar or syrup to sticky chai?
No. The 100% Australian native honey in the blend sweetens the chai, so you don’t need sugar or syrup at the bar. That keeps prep simpler and serves consistent.
How can cafés speed up sticky chai service at peak times?
Brew sticky chai in batches before service and keep it ready to heat and pour, following your venue’s food safety process. For the fastest option, use the 1L chai concentrate, which pours straight into hot or cold milk.
Can sticky chai be served iced or on a cold menu?
Yes. Yes. Brew it strong, strain, and pour it over ice and cold milk. Our Cold Brew Sticky Chai recipe is an easy summer special.
Is Arkadia sticky chai suitable for dietary-conscious menus?
The Sticky Chai Blend is gluten free and halal certified, with no added colours, sweeteners or preservatives. It brews well in dairy, oat, almond, soy and coconut milk. The 1L concentrate is vegan and plant-based.
How should bulk sticky chai be stored?
Keep the pack sealed and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from heat, light and moisture. Use it before the best-before date printed on the pack.
