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!
