Chai Tea Party with Ruby Chai

Hello lovelies,

At the end of last month we were treated to a lovely morning at the Ruby Chai headquarters in O'Connor for their Chai Tea Party. Despite it being a very cold and stormy looking morning, we were instantly warmed by the cheery atmosphere and delectable products. Neither of us had ever been to an event like this before, so we felt a little awkward, sort of like being at a party where you don't know anyone! Of course, we had each other, and Louise soon came over and gave us a very warm welcome.

Beetroot latte, honey chai & turmeric latte

First thing we did was get ourselves a nice hot drink! They had all of their teas available to try, but my favourites had to be these three! The beetroot latte is a newer product that isn't too strong in terms of beetroot flavour, and the same goes for the turmeric. I often find turmeric lattes to be a little too powdery for my liking, but this was actually very nice, smooth and had enough flavour without being overwhelming. Of course the honey chai was absolutely delicious, but I may be a little biased as I have purchased this product before at one of the markets they were at.

                                       

As well as having their entire range available to sample, you can also purchase everything to enjoy at home!

                           

And coffee lovers, fear not! They had a whole range of coffee beans available with all different flavours and strengths. While we are not coffee drinkers, we did enjoy reading the individual cards of each type of coffee that explained the flavour. They were even kind enough to grind the beans for those who didn't have a coffee grinder at home. And they had baristas on hand to serve everyone with piping hot cups of coffees.

Look at these cute jars and little bears of honey! So cute, and the perfect addition to your tea :)

                                  

Can we talk about this amazing food?! There was actually so much food, I didn't even know where to begin! I'm pretty sure I ate way too much, because they were all so delicious and beautiful! Plus, more just kept appearing haha! It was all either tea or coffee flavoured, which fit in so nicely with the event.

Chai donuts

Coffee flavoured donuts

Finally had a chance to try some glazed donuts by Carina's Kitchen! Yummy chai donuts with pretty flowers for everyone! It was so lovely to nibble on such beautiful morsels while meeting new people and having such engaging conversations.

These coffee flavoured scrolls looked so cute as well. These were made by Spirals Cinnamon Perth :)

Turmeric dusted brownies

Raspberry chocolate cake

Those brownies were so yummy! Both the brownies and the cake were made by Simply Beautiful Biscuits. I really liked how this event showcased so many local small businesses and bakeries. It was such a nice way to be able to sample all these products that I always see on Instagram, but never get around to trying in person.

Earl Grey Marshmallows & Fat Puppy Marshmallows

These were definitely my absolute favourites out of all the treats on show. Earl grey marshmallows by Little Polka Dot Pantry. One of my favourite floral teas mixed with marshmallows! Yum yum and yum. The Fat Puppy marshmallows were coffee flavoured (Fat Puppy is the name of one of their blends). Such a great idea to have flavoured marshmallows.

One last little pic of the treats table. All in all, I had a really great time at the event. It was a fantastic way to try the products and meet the creators of these lovely products. The whole event had such a warm and friendly atmosphere, and everyone was chatting happily to each other. I think that having that sort of atmosphere is so nice at a showcasing event like this, and I look forward to being a part of the next Ruby Chai event!

Thank you Ruby Chai for organising such a fun morning, it was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday!
