BONDI CHAI LATTE WINS GOLD!!

We are extremely proud to announce that Bondi Chai Latte has become the very first wholly Australian chai latte to win one of the food industry's highest awards - a GOLD MEDAL at the Wrest Point Royal Hobart Fine Food Awards. Yippee!! Not only did we win a gold medal - WE WON TWO!!! We always knew that our Bondi Chai Club Cinnamon and Vanilla Honey chai lattes were the best on the planet and now we have the proof (well, in Australia at least). So if you haven't already tasted our heavenly chai lattes - why not? It's the best one you can get in Australia!

Bondi Chai - How far will you go?

Bondi Chai latte is rapidly spreading throughout Australia and overseas but unfortunately not every cafe and deli has realised yet that they "Just have to sell it". For some of you a quick trip to your local cafe or delicatessen will allow you to get your much cherished supply of Bondi Chai latte. But spare a thougth for those who have to travel a lot further - such as this Bondi Chai addict from Victoria. She writes:

I must have had my head in the sand. Over last weekend I was part of the Echuca Coastguard Team exhibit at the Shepparton Expo and went for refreshments at the cappuccino stand. Well, I went for the Chai, with other orders for the team, came back, they had a sniff of the beautiful aroma and I was sent back for "ONE OF THOSE PLEASE"!We were topping up on these delicious Chai refreshments the whole weekend. It got the better of me and I just had to ask what brand was it? and the most helpful caterer informed me it was BONDI CHAI! I'M HOOKED! I am planning to take a trip to Shepparton, 130k round trip, and get my supply.

If, like our fellow Bondi Chai latte lover above, you have to travel a long way to get your hands on your next pack of Bondi Chai blog us and let us know where you are - we will do our best to get some stocked locally for you.
