All are driven by a determination to do tea properly.

Our old tea bar chai is back ☕

The team really missed the chai lattes we used to make at our old tea bar on Leather Lane, so we set out to capture that nostalgic, tea-forward, spiced favourite in a new format for our hospitality partners, without losing what made it so memorable.

Based on a traditional masala chai recipe with Assam tea and whole spices, our new small-batch Chai Concentrate lets you serve delicious, high-margin chai consistently and conveniently.

At our old tea bar on Leather Lane, tea was the hero of the chai latte we served, and it was a true team favourite: rich Assam, warming spices and gentle sweetness. We used to brew it downstairs and the whole space would fill with it’s unmistakeable aroma.

Now, after years of development, we’ve finally landed on a way for our tea partners to serve up the same delicious chai, using those same quality ingredients - real tea leaves and whole spices - without the time spent brewing.

During our research, we quickly discovered that many chai concentrates on the market don’t contain any tea, and miss the mark - in our opinion - when it comes to that all important balance of sweetness and spice.

For ours, we went back to basics and turned to traditional recipes, landing on one with a strong Assam tea base, layered up with the best whole spices we could find, including warming ginger, aromatic cardamom, sweet Ceylon cinnamon and more (sourced for us by our friends at Dani Organics who we partnered with for their focus on quality and transparency).

Chai as it should be.

Our small-batch Chai Concentrate comes in an easy to serve bag-in-box format, made with busy cafés and bars in mind.

For a comforting chai latte, pour one part chai to five parts milk, hot or iced. Or serve it over ice, topped up with water, for a light, spiced iced tea.

Whether you’re serving up hot or iced chai lattes, or creating your own seasonal special (like this hojichai), our Chai Concentrate is made for consistency and speed behind the bar, without cutting corners on flavour.

A little reminder for your next tea break.

It’s easy to fill the kettle with more water than you need, especially when only making one cup. But boiling too much water is one of the biggest contributors to the carbon footprint of a cup of tea.

That’s why you’ll find a ‘Boil Smart’ reminder on every box of Good & Proper tea. A gentle nudge to boil just what you need, and no more.

What is breakfast tea? 🫖

Simply put, it’s a blend of full-bodied and robust black tea, crafted to stand up to a splash of milk and set you up for the day.

Our Breakfast Tea range starts with our first ever blend: Brockley Breakfast. Named after our original South London home, it’s rich and balanced, with an aromatic Darjeeling twist. Then we have our classic Kenyan-based English Breakfast - full-bodied and deliciously malty.

We’ve recently welcomed two new additions to the range: Breakfast Brew, made for when time is short, but a good cup of tea still matters, and Decaf Breakfast, delivering all the flavour you’d expect from a breakfast tea, minus the caffeine.

Now just to decide: milk first, or last? We’ll leave that part to you.

Darjeeling, wh**ky and a little bit of magic. Meet the winner of The Proper Shake Up 2026 🏆🍸

, Training Manager at , shook things up with his cocktail, ‘Darjeeling Ruby Dram’.

The secret? Good & Proper Darjeeling infused into wh**ky to bring out those juicy raisin notes. Add homemade plum juice (criminally underrated, according to Attila), a little milk clarification for a silky-smooth finish, and some custom-made crystal-clear ice.

A huge cheers to Attila, and to all our brilliant competitors who gave the judges plenty to think about this year 🥃
