Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chai?

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.
