VANILLA CHAI | black blend

notes  roasted tea | vanilla bean | creamy

VANILLA CHAI is a tea blend of Yunnan black tea and classic chai spices. Hand-blended in-house, the recipe starts with a black tea base—smooth, chocolatey GAO WEN from Yunnan—augmented with a spicy-sweet profile of south Asian cinnamon, ginger root, and Malabar black pepper. Lastly, the blend is smoothed with a naturally soft, creamy vanilla. The result is a loose chai tea leagues ahead of commodity-grade blends on the market.

VANILLA CHAI produces a deep cherry red liquor with an aromatic bouquet of masala spices and sweet cream. Rich, full-bodied, spice-forward, and fully traceable from source to cup.

This tea blend is scheduled for removal from the lineup (to be replaced by a Masala Chai blend); get it before it's gone!
