Spiced Chai Loose Tea—an exquisite blend inspired by the centuries-old tradition of Indian masala chai. Crafted from the finest black tea leaves and a medley of aromatic spices, including cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, and sweet fennel, this brew is elevated with the zesty essence of lemongrass.
A Taste of History: The history of chai is as rich as its flavour. Originating in India, chai is deeply rooted in the country's culture and tradition. It was first brewed as an Ayurvedic healing beverage, harnessing the natural power of spices to promote well-being. Over the centuries, chai evolved into the beloved, spiced tea we know today, cherished for its robust flavour and heart warming qualities.
While we commonly associate 'chai' with a particular tea flavour, the term actually translates to 'tea' in Hindi. The concept of a creamy, milky tea is a beloved tradition in the United Kingdom. Following British colonization in India, it didn't take long for Indians to craft their own rendition of this delightful beverage by adding a medley of aromatic spices to sweet, milky black tea.
