In Indian culture, 'Masala' means 'a blend of spices', and 'chai' simply means 'tea.' So, Masala Chai is literally 'spiced tea.' Our take on this treasured Indian drink combines premium Ceylon black tea with warming cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Warm and inviting fragrance, zesty flavor (without being too hot or spicy) and invigorating, aromatic finish.
Steep at 212° for 3-5 minutes.

“ I bought a selection of sachets for travel so I didn't have to schlep a scale and all. They worked really well. I'm home now, but have some left over. This morning I made a 36-ounce pot of tea with one masala chai sachet and one blood orange. A nice blend. ”

“ Not earthy like some masala chai. A nice mild chai. I prefer stronger chai teas so I made it double strength (2 tea bags, 4 oz of water, and 4 oz of steamed milk) & really enjoyed it. The cardamom is the most present spice. It's even better when mixed with Hank tea blend by Paichan13 (part of the Become Human fandom) which contains chocolate chai among other things. They're outstanding together. Blended, they're a complex, smooth slightly nutty chai. ”

“ My family favorite. My husband drinks it every day for the last year. Spicy and flavorful. It is really handy to have an option to buy it in multiple boxes. ”
Historically, tea in India was viewed as 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.
