Forget hot cocoa… have you tasted Idris?! Based on our classic Love Potion no. 10 chai but like it's namesake, this chai is chocolaty, creamy, spicy and rich. Come get a package of Idris to take home or gift 🎁 or order online at calabashtea.com. #idrishotchocolatechai #chai #idris #vegan #ginger #cardamom #cinnamon #rawcacao #teaporn #chaiporn 📸: @reese.bland
