Description

To most Westerners, it is a little known fact that the word 'Chai' simply means 'tea' in Hindi. Therefore, all teas are technically chais. However, instead of the 'chai' that most Americans are used to (which usually contains really bad tea), we offer a Masala Chai tea - premium Ceylon black tea with a unique blend of spices; cinnamon, cardamon, and ginger.

Story

From the hieroglyphics on the walls of the pyramids, to the scriptures of the Bible, we find constant mention of the important part spices played in the lives of the ancients. Many of the spices, herbals and seeds we use today, were first cultivated by the early peoples of the western world. In fact, our word "aroma" was the ancient Greek word for "spice." Today, when spices cost so little, it is hard to imaging that once these fragrant bits were so costly, that men were willing to risk life and limb in search of them.

"We often get soy chais from coffee shops and they aren't cheap. We decided to give making our own a try and we can really customize it to our taste. My partner is over the moon. We brew it in a ban right in the soy milk and add plenty of honey. Strain and enjoy. So good."

"Very good chai; a little bit on the spicy side, which I like. Try brewing it with hot milk rather than water - it's great."

"This chai tea is wonderful! I brew it in boiling water for 2 minutes, then add milk (1:1 proportion), bring to a boil, bring the heat down and simmer for another 5-6 minutes. Then add in some honey and its perfect =]"

"I took another person's advice and brewed this with some warm milk, and it was very good. Tasted just like a chai latte you'd buy for $7 at one of those "coffeehouses." :)"

"My absolute favorite tea on Adagio. It smells so amazing that I'm almost happy just opening the container and smelling the unbrewed mix. The tea itself is spicy and delicious and has a great blend of flavors."
