green chai
Our smooth China green tea with a chakra warming spice combination. Cardamom, clove and ginger aromas, clean and refreshing flavor, soothing finish with a balanced astringency. The natural sweetness and fiery kick will bring you back to center, no matter how polarized you've become. OMMmmmmm... We suggest two heaping teaspoons per 8 oz cup. 3 min at about 180 degrees. Sugar, cream or soy if desired.133 reviews

ingredients & lore
blended with green tea, cinnamon bark, orange peels, ginger root, cloves, cardamom pods and natural chai flavor
Historically, tea in India was viewed as an herbal medicine, rather than as a beverage for taste. Some chai spice blends still in current use are derived from Ayurvedic medical texts. Popular spices include anise, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, peppercorn and ginger. Traditional preparation actually calls for the spices, milk and leaves to be simmered over sustained heat, rather than steeped in preheated water (like regular tea). In India, chai is served in little clay cups from chai carts. After enjoying your tea, the cups are shattered on the ground and allowed to compost - an earth-friendly alternative to the paper and plastic cups popular in the U.S.
