Lifestyle beverage brand Good Kynd has entered the UK drinks market with the country’s first ready-to-drink Iced Chai Latte featuring added prebiotic fibre.

Founded by former accountants, the London-based startup aims to bring chai into the mainstream while offering a smoother, non-carbonated alternative within the functional drinks sector.

The brand’s first debut product is a 250ml Iced Chai Latte formulated with 4g of added fibre, an oat milk base, no added sugar and a vegan, gluten-free recipe.

Designed to deliver a café-style chai product with a sweet-spice flavour, the drink is positioned for both on-the-go consumption and mindful daily rituals, while also tapping into the growing consumer interest in gut health, all in a fully recyclable aluminium can.

The cans will be launching online before the end of the year, priced between £2.20 and £2.50.
