Masala Chai is a loose leaf blend of black tea with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove, with a rich, warming flavor.
- Type: Loose leaf black tea with spices
- Spices: Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove
- Ingredients note: No artificial flavors or additives
- Tasting notes: Rich, warming, aromatic
- Best brew methods: Hot chai; also iced
- Size and price: 3 oz loose leaf ($20.95)
A robust black tea base carries the spices, so the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove add depth without overpowering the tea. Brew it as a traditional hot chai on a cold morning, or chill it for an iced cup.
It suits anyone who wants a warming, aromatic cup that is a step beyond plain black tea.
For a pairing, try it next to our Mexico Coffee: both have cinnamon, so tasting them together shows how one spice changes in coffee versus tea.
