Indian Mocha Chai Tea

Chai is so prevalent in India and Sri Lanka that it might as well be the national drink. It is very common to see tea carts or "chai wadis" serving their chai to passersby on the street. Chai blends are often made with lower quality teas since it is thought that the spices will cover up any deficiencies in the tea. The base that makes up a good chai, however, needs to be of good quality to produce a rich, bold cup and our Indian Mocha Chai tea uses a high-grown Ceylon black tea blend that does just that.

The blend offers a superb body with mellow Indian spice notes and a slight coffee overtone therefore making a great coffee alternative. It is bright and coppery and especially enticing when served the traditional way with milk and sugar! Contains black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, curry leaves, lemongrass, cumin and sweet cumin, coriander, 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 in freshly boiled water for 3-5 minutes.
