An organic Assam black tea with Saigon cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and pink peppercorns, our Saigon Chai is on another level of delicious. In the 1950s, Saigon cinnamon—which has the most cinnamon oil of any spice—was one of the finest spices on the market. But then came the Vietnam War, and exports ground to a halt. Now it’s comeback time. Try this dark, sweet perfection as a spicy iced tea, Viet-style, with sweetened condensed milk. Comes in a bulk-size 250 g bag, so you can steep up a cup anytime you please.
