In the cup

Bold, spicy Indian chai: full-bodied, aromatic, built to be simmered with milk and sugar, though it holds its own straight.

In the cup

Black tea, medium caffeine. Spice and malt. Brisk and full-bodied, with only a little natural sweetness, which is why it takes sugar so well.

How to brew it

Use 2.5 g of leaf for 12 oz of water at 195°F and steep 5 to 7 minutes. Or do what it was built for and simmer it with milk and sugar. Straight is fine too.

Details

  • Assam black tea, cloves, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon and cardamom flavors
  • 3 oz loose leaf, about 34 servings at 2.5 g (28 at 3 g)
  • Medium caffeine
  • Free shipping on every order
