The Dirty Fat Chai

The Dirty Fat Chai

Part eccentric statement, part delicious beverage. It’s 2019 and we are over
our fear of fat and dirt!

A dirty chai latte, says the former barista, is a chai latte with espresso. What’s a dirty fat chai? It’s even better, as it includes organic medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil sourced ethically from coconuts.
