The Brits have entered the chat. ☕️🇬🇧
We’re back with Chaiid & Tested, and this time, it’s a special episode of WILL IT DUNK? 👀
As autumn fades and winter creeps in, there’s one British tradition that never gets old. A good biscuit, a hot cup of tea, and the ultimate question…
Will it survive the dunk in our Karak Chaii? 👀
Bourbons and Custard Creams are going head-to-head. Some are made for the dunk. Others? Not so much. 💀
👇 Settle the debate. What’s your go-to biscuit for dunking?
