 Hi, I'm Siri, the founder and maker behind Chaaboo.

Originally from Thailand, I now call the beautiful county of Herefordshire home. Tea has always been something that brings people together—comforting, calming and full of wonderful aromas. In 2012, while attending inspiring talks at the renowned Hay Festival, an idea began to take shape.

What if tea could become more than a drink? What if its beautiful fragrance could be captured in handmade soap?

A few months later, Chaaboo was born.

Using the traditional cold process method, I blend freshly brewed Twinings tea with nourishing plant oils including olive oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil and shea butter to create soaps that are as gentle on your skin as they are on the planet.

Every bar is:

  • 🌿 Palm oil free

  • 🐰 Cruelty free

  • 🌱 Vegan friendly

  • 🧼 Handmade in Herefordshire

Each soap is carefully made in small batches, allowing time for every bar to cure naturally and develop a rich, creamy lather.

Whether you're discovering Chaaboo at Hay-on-Wye, Ludlow, Ross-on-Wye or through my website, I hope my soaps bring a little everyday luxury into your home.

Thank you for supporting a small independent business.

I hope you enjoy using my soaps and shampoo bars as much as I enjoy making them.

“Thrilled with this purchase. The chai tea soap was delivered super fast and packaged beautifully - no plastic.

I’m so happy with my 5 star product and seller. The lavender & lemon shampoo bar that i purchased arrived very fast, smells delicious and is really east to use. It looks high quality on my bath caddy, certainly better than the high street versions that i previously used. my very long hair looks soft and shinny. I’ll definitely stick with this perfect brand. It’s great to support small businesses, whilst using vegan and natural products that are good for the environment.

"Coincidence? I don't think so. Every year, from October through the winter months until late spring, I am plagued with eczema that affects every part of me. In the autumn of 2014, I changed my regime from my usual prescribed washes and creams to chaaboo soap - haven't used any other product since.

Thus far, my skin is completely clear and smooth for the first time in more than a decade."
