Lore

The name alone gives this Signature a sense of theatre: chai spice, coffee-shop cold drink, and biscuit translated into one playful idea. Tom’s handshake is the reminder that a biscuit can carry a whole flavor profile without needing a towering structure. The achievement is in making a clever concept taste like a finished bake rather than a list of references.
