Liquid Chai is a family-owned small business based on the Sunshine Coast, where we’re dedicated to spreading our love of chai. Our story began when our mum couldn’t find the perfect tasting chai, so she decided to make her own. This led to the creation of Liquid Chai – a delicious, aromatic, and balanced blend of natural spices and tea.
ABOUT US
THE ORIGIN STORY
OUR MISSION
At Liquid Chai, we believe life is too short for bad chai. It’s more than just a slogan; it’s the essence of our mission.

As a proudly Australian-owned business, we’re committed to providing the best possible customer experience, ensuring that every sip of Liquid Chai brings joy and satisfaction.
SLOW BREW PROCESS
Crafting Liquid Chai is a labour of love. We believe that good things take time, which is why we employ a slow brewing process to extract all the flavours from the whole spices and ensure you get everything you can out of the ingredients. There’s no waste, and it ensures every cup is delicious.
Small Batches: All our batches are small to ensure consistency and quality.
Whole Spices and Ginger: We brew the whole spices and ginger for an entire day. This slow process allows the flavours to develop fully and infuse into the blend.
Brief Tea Steeping: While the spices are brewed for an extended period, the tea is steeped for only a few minutes. This technique ensures a balanced flavour profile, with emphasis on the aromatic spices rather than a heavy tea flavour. While some chais prefer a more black tea strong flavour, we prefer ours more packed with spice.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Our journey is truly a family affair. Founded by Naomi (mum), John (dad), and Billie (me), our business is built on the shared passion and dedication of our family. Each of us brings unique strengths to the table. My mum is the heart of our production, affectionately known as the ‘chai queen,’ while my dad’s friendly demeanour and natural sales skills make him an ideal fit for engaging with customers (he loves to chat!) As for myself, I gravitate towards the digital realm, handling online operations, organisation, and numbers. Together, we form a well-rounded team, covering a wide spectrum of expertise and ensuring the success of Liquid Chai.
SUNNY COAST
Our business has deep roots in the Sunshine Coast community, with our journey stemming from attending local markets. Every week, each member of our team eagerly sets up at these markets to connect with chai lovers, share our mum’s wonderful product, and foster meaningful connections with our customers. It’s the highlight of our week. We are immensely grateful to call this beautiful part of the country our home, and we genuinely believe it’s the best place in the world. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to visit one of our markets and meet us in person!
OUR BLENDS
ORIGINAL
A creamy and smooth blend of aromatic spices, our original blend is reminiscent of traditional chai enjoyed around the world. Indulge in sweet-scented cinnamon, earthy cloves, soothing ginger, and a hint of peppercorns. The robust and bold flavor of black tea adds depth and richness to the blend, providing a strong foundation for the spices to shine.
What sets our original blend apart is its use of black tea, giving it the classic chai flavour that’s been enjoyed for centuries. The robust and slightly astringent taste of black tea complements the masala blend of spices perfectly, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and spicy notes.
Indulge in our original blend and experience the true essence of chai, handcrafted with love!
