Hey there!

We’re Emily and Jim, the humans behind Caravan Chai, the fun-loving chai company that sprang from our coffee caravan, Messin With Jim.

Our wild little adventure began in 2020 when we started making our own chai blends for the caravan. Jim, our head barista and resident chai wizard, has always had a serious love for tea and wanted to create a sticky chai that felt full of flavour, made with real ingredients, and brewed like it actually mattered.

With a growing fan base behind us, we started mixing, testing and tweaking all sorts of flavours and ingredients in search of that ever-elusive perfect cup.

With the help of our awesome friends, family, cafés, roasters and community, Caravan Chai has now grown into a whole range of sticky chai blends ready for you to enjoy at home, in cafes and everywhere in between.

In our wacky world, we wear many hats.

Emily is our social butterfly, creating most of the fun stuff you see online and in person. Jim is the detail-obsessed chai master, always tinkering with blends, brewing methods, processes and flavours to make sure every cup hits the spot.

We’re happiest when we’re surrounded by good food, warm cups of chai, and wholesome moments with our friends and family.

Caravan Chai is all about spreading the chai love, educating the masses, and helping people see just how good this drink can be when it’s made with the care and attention it deserves.

And that care starts well before our chai lands in your cup.

Our ingredients are carefully sourced and quality controlled. We have strong relationships with the suppliers we work with, and we choose organic ingredients where possible and Australian ingredients where possible. Most importantly, we only use ingredients we’re proud to put our name to.

As Caravan Chai grows, so do our relationships with our suppliers, cafes, stockists and community. We want to get our chai into more homes, more cafes and more keep cups across the country, but not at the cost of quality, care or intention.

We can’t wait for you to give our blends a try.

Come along for the ride and follow our journey as we grow and build our chai-loving community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to get a bag of Caravan Chai into every pantry across Australia and into you keep cups from your favourite cafes far and wide, without ever compromising on quality.

We want to grow sustainably, with care and intention, while keeping the heart of Caravan Chai exactly where it belongs: in the product, in the people, and in every batch we make.

Good chai. Made properly. Shared widely. No shortcuts.

Our Promise To Our Community

We promise to keep our standards high, our ingredients carefully chosen, and our batches made with the same care and attention that started this whole thing in the first place.

We promise to be approachable, honest and open as we grow. To listen, learn, improve, and keep working closely with the people who help us make Caravan Chai what it is.

We promise to create from a place of care and intention, always. Every batch matters. Every ingredient matters. Every cup matters. Because Caravan Chai has never just been about making chai.

It’s about creating something warm, generous and thoughtful for the people who choose to bring us into their homes, cafes, stores and daily rituals.

And we don’t take that lightly.
