Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
"Chai" is the word for tea in many parts of the world. It is a centuries old beverage whose origins are said to go back over 5000 years to India, where it then spread to Asia and the Middle East. Chai is fine black tea brewed with a heady blend of warming spices including savoury cinnamon and rich clove combined with ginger and cardamom. The dark coppery color of this robust autumn chai blend complements the warm spicy flavours of this bold full-bodied tea.
