Description
Literally "mixed spiced tea," Masala Chai is a classic style of black tea blended with traditional spices native to South and Southeast Asia. The tea base consists of a robust and malty Assam balanced with our new, lively Orange Pekoe from northern Thailand. Our recipe is unapologetically spicy yet balanced, highlighting aromatic Guatemalan cardamom, hot and citrusy ginger and sweet cinnamon, with accents of pungent cracked black pepper and fragrant cloves. Designed to be brewed both straight up and via stovetop simmered the traditional way in water and milk often with a touch of sweetness.

My favorite chai!
I have tried other masala chai blends, and I always come back to Rishi! It's the only one spicy enough
...
for me. I used to make it with fat free organic milk, but I am trying to cut back on dairy-for a couple of nightmarish days I thought I might have to give up my beloved chai, as I don't like the taste of many milk substitutes. However I fortunately tried it with cashew milk, and I found this to be the most similar in taste and consistency to dairy milk, so I'm happy as a clam again. I far prefer the loose leaf method to the sachets, or the concentrate-these are fine, but I like a high level of spicy flavor, and brewing it in a pan brings out the bite! Plus, I like to add my own sugar-I am not a fan of sweet drinks, amd most premized chais are too sweet for me. This leaves it up to me! I will definetly purchase again-please don't ever stop making this!

Excellent Chai Tea
I'm a Chai tea aficionado and enthusiast! I've tried many, many versions over the years. The blend

that Rishi makes is hands down the best. Can't recommend it enough.

Delicious Chai
I made this chai per the directions, then added a tiny bit of maple syrup and a splash of half and half

to cool it down. Yummy! It's quite flavorful. I will definitely buy this again!

Loved the Masala Chai
Usually, Masala Chai teas that I buy aren't spicy enough (often ginger is excluded!) - however, this
...
was the perfect blend of spicy and wholesome. I brew it for a bit longer than 5min, and I do a half water half almond milk brew.
