Category: Spiced Black Tea

Tasting Notes: light smoke, soft spice, hint of chili

Description:  A balance of black tea, smoke, spice, and chili peppers. A lightly smokey tea with warm chai spice and subtle lingering chili pepper notes. 

In this chai, the smoke flavor is balanced with warm chai spices and a finish of spicy chili pepper.  If you'd like to increase the chili pepper taste, break up the whole chili peppers into smaller pieces. This will spread and increase the spicy chili pepper notes throughout the tea.

Consider our smoky blends: Bonfire Chai for a medium smoke and chili pepper kick, Campfire Tea for a bold smoky and spiced experience with notes of hazelnut, or Log Cabin Tea for a light smoke and maple spiced taste.

Ingredients: Assam black tea, Lapsang Souchong black tea, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, aniseed, clove, black peppercorn, cardamom, chili pepper

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

Hazel A. ★★★★★

The chili heat sneaks up on you nicely after the initial smoky and spiced notes. I've been brewing it with a splash of milk and it makes for a perfect afternoon cup that's not too sweet.

Natalie X. ★★★☆☆

The smoky notes are present but more subtle than I expected, and the chai spices could be bolder for my taste. It's a decent cup, but I was hoping for a stronger chili kick to balance the warmth.
