Information:
Chai is such an integral part of Indian culture that it is virtually impossible to avoid when traveling through any part of the Indian sub-continent.
Indian chai is typically made using a rich black tea, usually an Assam, and brewing it in heavy milk with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper. The drink produces a warm soothing effect and engenders a wonderfully calming effect on the body. We've taken the soothing aspect of this blend one step further and added a dash of vanilla. This addition of vanilla adds a hint of creaminess to this tea - a fantastic addition. Brew to piping hot and add some sugar to help open up the exotic flavour of the spicy blend that makes up this tea.
Important: Turn your bag of Chai upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom of the bag during transit.
Cup Characteristics: Sweet and spicy - all at the same time. Black tea loaded with traditional spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, pepper, and then finished with a dash of vanilla.

Quarter fills a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
