A Few Fun Oregon Chai Recipes

Written By Levi Andersen

Part of what happens at 5BAR is recipe work with other brands. Either for fun, or for side-work to keep Levi the owner busy and learning more. Here is a little glimpse into some of that work that he does from time to time. Here Levi worked on some new Oregon Chai Unsweetened Chai Tea Latte Concentrate recipes. Some are easy and expected, but some are a little out there and fun, so why not share?

To learn more about Oregon Chai, visit OregonChai.com. Take a look way waaaaay back to 2014 when Levi hosted a coffee podcast and interviewed the founder of Oregon Chai itself - Link to podcast about Oregon Chai.

5BAR will have Oregon Chai Unsweetened Chai Tea Latte Concentrate on hand till our supplies run out. If you want to try one, we can likely make it happen, depending on if we have all the ingredients.
