Description

Our smooth China green tea with a chakra warming spice combination. Its natural sweetness and fiery kick will bring you back to center, no matter how polarized you've become. OOMMMMM OOMMMMM

We suggest two heaping teaspoons per 6 oz cup. 3 min at about 180 degrees. Sugar, cream or soy if desired.

Story

Historically, tea in India was viewed as an herbal medicine, rather than as a beverage for taste. Some chai spice blends still in current use are derived from Ayurvedic medical texts. Popular spices include anise, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, peppercorn and ginger. Traditional preparation actually calls for the spices, milk and leaves to be simmered over sustained heat, rather than steeped in preheated water (like regular tea). In India, chai is served in little clay cups from chai carts. After enjoying your tea, the cups are shattered on the ground and allowed to compost - an earth-friendly alternative to the paper and plastic cups popular in the U.S.

"I love chai teas, especially this one. It tastes great, makes a good winter drink, and I like to mix it with my gunpowder green tea."

"This is ok, but not quite as good as I remembered it. I kind of regret buying a pound. I love chai but this is a little too spicy for me. Maybe I'll try it with less brewing time."

"This is a very good chai blend, if you like clove dominating (which I do). It's not heavy, but medium on the spicy scale. Was neat to see the leaves expand and expand. Appreciate this is a green tea. Overall good to very good."

"I'm so glad to have found this tea! I love a good chai, but wanted to have more green tea in my life. This tea meets both criteria."

"I love chai and this is very tasty. A little smoother and lighter than it's black tea counterpart but a nice change for something a little different. "
