Description
Calcutta Chai is for adventurous spirits - it includes black pepper, taking chai to a new spice frontier. All organic, this chai is perfect for making a latte, as the spice really cuts through the milk. Be careful on your last sip - the pepper can settle!

Insider Tip: Use a brew basket to ensure no tea falls into your cup, which can happen if your infuser has too large of a mesh. Try infusing this tea with a touch of local honey to add sweetness to your drink. Brew it strong if serving with milk.

Chai is the word for tea in many parts of the world, but for most, it is meant to name a distinct blend of black tea and spices. Often prepared with milk and sweetened (called a chai latte), it is a hugely popular tea blend, but the actual blends and spices used vary widely. Common spices include cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and pepper. At The Tea Smith, we have over a half dozen blends, ranging from Traditional to a Rooibos Chai. Find your favorite and enjoy!
