Chime Chai Machine

I have had my eye on this one for YEARS. No joke. I actually reached out to Chime when they were just a startup and this machine has been living in my head rent-free ever since. (This is essentially the Keurig of the chai world)
This chai machine is the first of it’s kind, and in my opinion has features that make it the best on the market. It takes the time/hassle of making an authentic cup of chai and simplifies the process. By pairing to your mobile app, you can customize the strength, flavors, and ratio to make your perfect cup of chai. They offer their blends in pods that you simply place in the machine, add your favorite milk/dairy alternative and watch the magic happen! Makes a cup of chai in just 5 minutes

Chai machine
Dishwasher safe attachments
Variety chai pod pack

10. I Try Chai’s 2022 Chai of the Year
As per tradition, we’re going to end the list with I Try Chai’s favorite chai of this year. The Chai of the Year Award has been highly anticipated, and for good reason.
I am excited to announce that the 2022 Chai of the Year goes to Monk’s Chai ! Tbh I wasn’t really a sticky chai type of person (I found them usually disappointing and lacking flavor), until I tried Monk’s. When I tell you this is the BEST sticky chai ever, and so quick and easy to make!
What makes this chai unique from others I’ve tried is that they include cayenne and pimento in addition to the typical chai spices. It’s not too sweet, very bold and multi layered. I wrote an entire in-depth review on it, so be sure to check that out if you haven’t read it yet by clicking here.
This Australian handmade sticky chai is for the chai-adventurers out there, and I would absolutely recommend! (When they sent me their blend I was drinking it every. single. day)
And that's the top 10 things for chai lovers (2022 edition)!
