A robust and full-flavored black tea blended with our traditional Indian Masala spices. The bold flavor of our select shade-grown black tea presents full notes of cardamom, ginger and clove that is zesty and stimulating.
IngredientsBlack tea, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, clove, and black pepper. |
Preparation Instructions
Leaves: 1 tbsp We like our masala chai brewed strong and served sweet with steamed milk and honey. |
Black tea is fully oxidized, removing all green color from the original leaves. This is sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “fermenting.” (If you want real fermented tea, see our Pu-erh teas).
After oxidation, the tea is generally stronger and higher in caffeine than white, green, or oolong tea. It also has a longer shelf life.
Masala chai is typically made from black tea (although others can be used) mixed with Indian spices, milk, and sweetener. It is traditionally simmered rather than steeped, but you can do it either way. Some of the common spices are cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and pepper, but everyone makes their chai differently. We like to sweeten our chai with pure Montana honey!
