What is Chai Tea?

Indian chai tea is a robust blend of spices, herbs and tea. For centuries it has been revered for its health benefits in Chinese traditional medicine and in Ayurvedic medicine, an Indian holistic healing system. Indian teas can vary depending on the region in which it is consumed and the preferences of the chai consumer, but in general, they contain some staple ingredients.

Ingredients

Most chai teas are made from oxidized and fermented black tea leaves and combined with spices including cardamom, fresh ginger, black pepper, ground cloves or whole cloves, cinnamon and fennel. Chai recipes call for both black and green cardamom pods depending on the region.

Additionally, some CHAI TEA BLENDS contain black peppercorns, nutmeg, coriander seed, fennel seeds, allspice, and star anise. These chai spices contain powerful botanical elements including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial microorganisms that lend chai tea its extraordinary health benefits.
