Meet the cat

Chai

When I moved a few hours away from home to go to college, I adopted Chai to keep me company. She was shy at first, and we had a few initial health scares, but she is as sweet as can be and is now the proud big sister of my other cat, Mango.

The tea on this page is named after Chai.

A pouch of Chai tea

The tea

Chai spice, pumpkin pie, no caffeine.

Honeybush instead of black tea, so the spice profile of a chai arrives with no caffeine at all behind it. Cinnamon, ginger, clove and cardamom, with pumpkin pie and vanilla on top.

A limited seasonal run. When it is gone it is gone until next autumn.

You'll like it if
you want the flavor of a spiced chai at nine in the evening
Maybe not if
you want a real chai with tea in it — this is a herbal blend

Getting it right

How we'd steep Chai's.

If it tastes good, it is good. These are guidelines, not gospel — start here and move whichever way your cup wants to go.

Water
212°F
Time
5–7 minutes
Leaf
1 heaping teaspoon per 8 oz cup

One sachet per 12 oz mug. No measuring, same numbers otherwise.

  • We'd start here

    Hot, in a mug

    Full boil, and give it the full seven minutes. Honeybush and whole spices both want the time, and neither will turn bitter on you.

  • As a latte

    Double the leaf, half the water, ten minutes, then cut it half and half with hot milk. A caffeine-free version of the drink you would otherwise be buying out.

  • Over ice

    Make the concentrate above, let it cool, then pour over ice with cold milk.

If it's not right

Too weak
Add leaf before you add time. Past five minutes black tea gets bitter, not stronger.
Too bitter
Pull it a minute earlier, or use slightly less leaf. Water temperature isn't the culprit with black tea — it wants the full boil.
