Chai is a traditional Indian beverage that has gained popularity worldwide. The word "chai" simply means "tea" in Hindi, but when most people refer to chai, they're talking about a specific type of spiced tea.At Spice Pilgrim, our chai is a rich and warming blend of black tea, spices, and often milk. The spices we use can vary, but they typically include a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. These spices are pan-toasted, stone-ground, and mixed with the tea leaves to create a flavorful and aromatic blend.Chai can be enjoyed at any time of the day and is often used as a comforting drink or a natural pick-me-up. It's also a great way to introduce yourself to the world of spices, as the flavors are robust yet balanced.

What makes your Chai blends unique?

At Spice Pilgrim, we take pride in our Chai blends. They are crafted from a unique combination of freshly stone-ground spices, which are pan-roasted to bring out their natural flavors and aromas. This traditional method of preparation ensures that our Chai blends are rich, aromatic, and full of authentic flavors.

How do I prepare a cup of Chai using your blends?

Use one teaspoon of Chai blend for eight ounces of water. Bring water to a boil for three minutes. Add whole milk or a milk substitute (in the ratio of 1/4 milk to 3/4 water), and let boil for another two minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste.

Are your Chai blends caffeine-free?

Most of our Chai blends do contain black tea leaves, which naturally contain caffeine. However, we also offer caffeine-free Rooibos Chai blend which is just as flavorful and aromatic. Please check the product description for specific details.

Great iced chai latte

Bought this Masala Chai at the Van Farmers Market and it is wonderful as an iced chai latte. It is a very mild chai flavor. I steeped 1 tsp in 1 cup of water for 4 minutes, then let cool in the fridge for a little bit before adding 1/4 cup almond milk and a tablespoon of maple syrup. Stirred and poured over ice. It's great. Can't wait to try the spicy version next.

Good product

My comfort tea year-round!

I have several favorites, but this is my comfort tea year-round. I steep it by adding loose leaf to unbleached paper tea bags, placing them into the bottom of a small coffee maker carafe, and running filtered water through coffee maker. Chai turns out bold and spicy the way I like it - no cream or sugar needed because it has a great aroma and clean taste, no bitterness to this blend. Absolute best! When I want cream and sugar, I put the unbleached tea bags filled with loose leaf into a small sauce pan, do a quick stovetop boil, let it steep a few minutes, and add cream and sugar directly to the pan. I've also tried their Farmer's Market Masala Chai with star anise - it's even better!
