How to Use Warming and Spicy Tea Blends

These spiced teas are well-suited for any time of day or season, with both high-caffeine and caffeine-free options to match your taste preferences. Rich in fragrant, warming herbs, these hearty and rigorous teas can stand up to longer, more robust steep times, infusing each cup with bright aromatics and earthy floral notes for a well-balanced, nourishing cup of organic tea. For best results, refer to each product page for specific brewing ratios and temperatures, though a helpful guideline is to steep 2 grams of tea leaves or one tea sachet in 8 ounces of water, adjusting for taste.

FAQs

Masala Chai, or “mixed-spice tea,” is a traditional preparation of black tea that originated in India and carries a long, rich history spanning more than 5,000 years. As this tea has grown in popularity, many tea drinkers now simply refer to Masala Chai as “chai.” While spice blends vary by region, classic chai preparations most often feature warming spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.

Ginger root is rich in aromatic compounds that not only activate spice receptors on the tongue but may also help stimulate blood circulation. This gentle increase in circulation can create a warming sensation, which is why ginger is an essential herb in many of our spicy teas.

Capsaicin is the compound in peppers responsible for their heat. While some ingredients in our blends naturally contain trace amounts of capsaicin, it’s only present at levels that contribute gentle warmth and aromatic depth rather than intense heat. For those who prefer a bolder, spicier experience, our Spicy Masala Chai offers a more intense kick of capsaicin.

Many of the herbs and spices in our blends are traditionally valued for their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ginger, in particular, has long been used in traditional preparations for its gentle, gut-calming qualities.
