Masala Chai - Spiced Chai Black Tea

Masala chai is one of the world's great tea traditions: a collection of warming spices over a robust black tea base that has been comforting people across South Asia and beyond for centuries. This blend captures that tradition in every aromatic, invigorating cup.

Warming cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves work together with pink pepper, orange peel, allspice, and star anise to create a spice profile that is complex, inviting, and deeply satisfying. The quality black tea base provides the full body needed to carry these bold flavours, and the result is a chai that is hearty, aromatic, and rewarding whether taken straight, with milk, or brewed into a rich, warming chai latte. A cup that earns its name.

With milk, the combination becomes rounded, warming, and indulgent.
