Our Lemongrass Chai Tea is a tea that will truly caress your senses. From the moment you smell this tea you know you are in for a treat. As you inhale the aromas of the chai, your senses delight in the exotic scents of the far east. Our lemongrass chai is produced with a base blend of Assam and Kenyan teas from estates noted for their good, strong, full-bodied teas. As you drink this tea, you may find that the presence of the lemongrass in the blend not only provides a slightly sweet scent of fresh lemon, but also aids clarity of the mind and an openness of spirit. Contains premium black tea, lemongrass, ginger, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Be sure to turn your container of chai upside-down a few times as the powdered spices can settle at the bottom of a bag during transit, or over time on a shelf. Use one teaspoon per ounce and brew 3-5 minutes in freshly boiled water.

Chai is typically made using a rich black tea, usually an Assam, and is traditionally brewed in heavy milk with a mixture of spices. Each recipe can be different depending upon the spices used. Indian chai is often referred to as Masala Chai. The word "chai" literally means "tea." Different languages use various forms of this word - for example Portuguese call it "cha," Hindus call it "chai," and in Chinese the sound of the symbol for tea sounds very much like "cha." “Masala” is the word for the mixture of the various spices - hence Masala Chai.

Our new Masala Chai has a more complex, traditional Masala flavor and is somewhat less peppery than the old version and is considerably less expensive. Black tea flavored with ginger root, cinnamon, green cardamom, ginger and vanilla flavor. Use one teaspoon per cut of fresh boiling water and steep for 3-5 minutes.

If you like chai, you've got to try Night of the Iguana Chocolate Chai! Named after the last major box office success for Tennessee Williams, the distinguished American playwright - and a noted tea lover! The play features a captive iguana tied up to the edge of a veranda while a cast of characters discuss their complicated lives. As opposed to the plot of the play, however, Night of the Iguana Chocolate Chai tea is delightfully complex. This blend uses spices from the Malabar coast of India which provide a nice balance without being too spicy, and a touch of chocolate for mystery. Contains: a full-bodied Assam black tea base with white chocolate (dairy), ginger, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper and natural flavors. Be sure to turn your container of chai upside-down a few times as the powdered spices can settle at the bottom of a bag during transit, or over time on a shelf. Use one teaspoon per cup and steep 3-5 minutes in freshly boiled water. Add milk and sugar for a richer treat.
