Classic Chai

Spicy and robust, our Classic Chai has all the signature ingredients well represented with strong notes of peppercorn, cardamom, and ginger. We've rounded out the mix with cassia cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel for complementary flavor. 

Choose a black tea such as Assam to complete the beverage or for a caffeine-free treat, Rooibos is a good substitution for a black tea. Vary the proportions between tea and spice to perfectly suit your taste.
