Warm Hugs in a Mug | Melvins Pure Kenya Chai | Masala Chai | Tangawizi Chai.

A Mug of Comfort for Every Season

No matter the month, life occasionally brings those cool, weary moments, misty mornings, slow evenings, or restless nights. That’s when Melvins PKC, Masala Chai, and Tangawizi Chai become more than teas, they become warm, heartfelt hugs in your favourite mug.

At Melvins Tea, we believe a cup of tea should do more than quench thirst, it should soothe the soul. Each of our blends is blended with care to bring calmness, depth, and comfort with every sip.

Why Melvins Teas Create Mug Moments

Grown with Love, Blended for Comfort

• Melvins PKC (Pure Kenya Chai): Sourced from Kenya’s highlands, where rich red soil and cool air produce robust black tea leaves. PKC is bold, deeply flavorful, and smooth enough to enjoy with just water, or enhanced with milk and spices.
• Melvins Masala Chai: A fragrant fusion of black tea with warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. This blend engages your senses and feels like a cozy tradition steeped in every sip.
• Melvins Tangawizi (Ginger) Chai: Bright, spicy, and healing. With real ginger at its heart, this blend warms you up from the inside out, ideal for those times you need a soothing moment of rest.

Each Melvins blend is made to support moments when you need a little comfort in a cup.
