Information
Black tea infused with spices, inspired by the Indian continent. Not only do the spices added to this tea make for an interesting brew, they also add additional health benefits. So it tastes good and does you good. When the British introduced tea to India it was not popular with the local population as a drink. However, the idea of a tea break was so enticing that the workers found a way to make the beverage their own. Often the tea, spices and milk were all added to a pan and left for long periods to infuse.
Some people enjoy this tea with a little milk or coconut milk.
Try making a rich and creamy chai latte by adding full-fat steamed milk and a generous portion of sugar. Double the amount of tea, milk and sugar is recommonded for a truly indulgent chai treat. You can heat the milk in a milk frother, or even boil in a pan (be careful it doesn't boil over).
Some people like to add a little honey to balance the spice.
For a really fiery blend, add an extra scoop of ginger before brewing.
Also delicious iced and cold-brewed.
Iced Tea
Make as for hot, but add extra tea - double the amount of tea per cup is recommended.
When the tea has cooled a little, pour over ice and then serve.
Cold Brew
For a smoother taste experience.
Place the tea in a jug and add cold water.
Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge)
Strain and enjoy.

Great tea, great service
This is a really good masala blend. Only the best ingredients used. Makes a very fine cup of chai. The service is excellent, with quick delivery, good packaging, and an excellent, no nonsense online ordering service. I keep coming back for more
