To most Westerners, it is a little-known fact that the word 'chai' simply means 'tea' in Hindi. Therefore, all teas are technically chai. In America, the word 'chai' has come to mean tea with a generous amount of spices often served as a deliciously sweetened latte. We are thrilled to offer our best-selling Masala Chai tea - premium Ceylon black tea with a unique blend of spices; cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger. A classic 'chai', if you will.

Serve hot or cold, any time of day.

Category: Black Tea

High Level of Caffeine

 

Ingredients

Premium Ceylon black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger

How to Brew?

Suggested ratio of tea preparation is one teaspoon of leaves per 8 ounces of water. However, light and voluminous teas will taste best with twice the leaves. Experiment and enjoy!

Use boiling water when preparing black, dark oolong and voluminous teas, and cooler (180F) water when steeping green, light oolong and white teas.

Do not steep your teas longer than recommended or it will turn bitter. The rule of thumb is 5 minutes for most teas, and only 3 minutes for green and light oolong.

Tasting Notes

The aroma of chai is a special mix of sweet and spicy. It has a light smokiness coated with sharp notes of cinnamon and ginger, backed by the time-tested additions of cardamom and cloves to create this iconic mix. 

The smoky black tea flavor with the vibrant spice mix will remind you of enjoying gingerbread cookies at a cozy fireplace. This complex blend will bring some enthusiasm to your day.

Pairings

Milk's sweetness and silky texture make it a near requirement for chai, bolstering its flavors with added decadence. Adding honey brings sweetness with its complementing flavors, making a delicious tea experience. 

Spicy and sweet foods are boosted by this tea's similar tastes, like spiced nuts or a fluffy cake. Many Indian dishes and snacks will share chai's palate, so enjoy it with some samosas or rasgullas.
