What makes Mince Pie Sticky Chai different
Mince Pie Sticky Chai is a spiced, zesty blend built on Bird & Blend's Sticky Chai recipe, which the catalog describes as the first of its kind in the UK. It is handmade in small batches with freshly ground spices and wildflower honey, then infused with limited-edition tea blends to create a Christmas-in-a-cup character. Because the blend contains caffeine, it suits a morning or early-afternoon festive treat rather than a late-night drink.
The 150g refill pouch contains approximately 15 servings, so it is a practical size for a season of cosy cups. The catalog does not list exact brewing times, water temperatures, or milk quantities, so the method below is a starting point to adjust to your taste rather than a manufacturer's instruction.

How to brew a festive cup of Mince Pie Sticky Chai
Use this as a flexible starting method. The catalog does not provide official brewing times or temperatures, so taste as you go and adjust the strength to your preference.
- Measure the blend: Spoon roughly one serving of the sticky chai into a teapot or infuser. The pouch suggests about 15 servings, so aim for a portion that looks right for your cup size.
- Add hot water: Pour freshly boiled water over the blend. Let it steep for a few minutes, then taste. If you want a stronger spice note, steep a little longer.
- Strain and serve: Strain into your cup. For a richer festive drink, you can add a splash of warm milk or a dairy-free alternative, but the catalog does not specify milk quantities, so add to taste.
Turning it into a sticky chai latte
A sticky chai latte is an easy way to make the blend feel extra indulgent. Brew a concentrated cup using the steps above, then top it with warmed milk. The honey in the blend already adds sweetness, so taste before adding anything else. Because the catalog does not give a specific latte recipe, treat this as a starting point and adjust the ratio of chai to milk until it suits you.
For a festive finish, grate a little nutmeg or cinnamon over the top. These are serving suggestions, not ingredients confirmed in the blend, so use them only if you enjoy those spices.
Practical serving notes
- Best time of day: The blend contains caffeine, so many people prefer it earlier in the day rather than right before bed.
- Storage: The catalog does not provide specific storage instructions for this pouch. Keep it sealed and in a cool, dry place as a sensible default, but check the packaging for any manufacturer guidance.
- Allergens and dietary suitability: The supplied information does not confirm allergen status, so check the full ingredient list on the packaging if you have dietary concerns.
Who this festive chai suits
Mince Pie Sticky Chai is a good fit if you enjoy warming spices, a touch of honeyed sweetness, and a Christmas-themed cup without committing to a large tin. The 150g refill pouch is a sensible way to try it or restock a favourite. If you prefer caffeine-free options or need confirmed allergen information before buying, the supplied catalog does not provide enough detail to recommend it for those needs.
