Masala Chai

— The Bold & Spicy

This isn't chai from a coffee shop pump. Masala Chai is one of the oldest beverage traditions in the world — and ours does it justice. Full-bodied and intensely aromatic, this loose leaf blend carries the warming spice of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and clove over a bold Indian black tea base that holds its own under milk and sugar without disappearing. Brew it strong, steam some milk into it, and you have a cup that rivals anything you'd pay five dollars for. Or drink it straight — invigorating and complex enough to stand entirely on its own. For anyone who wants warmth with backbone.
