About this tea

Literally "mixed spiced tea," Masala Chai is a classic style of black tea blended with traditional spices native to South and Southeast Asia. The tea base consists of a robust and malty Assam balanced with our new, lively Orange Pekoe from northern Thailand. We are proud of our bold yet balanced blend, emphasizing zesty ginger and fragrant cardamom with the simmering sweetness of Saigon cinnamon.

Ingredients

Organic black tea, organic cinnamon, organic cardamom, organic ginger root, organic black pepper, organic clove

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this masala chai offers excellent flavor with a well-balanced blend of spices including cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Many find it warming, smooth, and perfectly spiced, often enjoying it with milk and honey. The tea brews up aromatic and flavorful, with several noting it works well both hot and cold. While most praise the spice level as just right, some find it too peppery or prefer stronger cardamom notes. A few mention the loose tea comes quite powdery, creating residue when brewing. Overall, customers appreciate the authentic taste and rich flavor profile.
