Herbal Tradition Note

The aromatic spices in Chai #1 have been valued for centuries throughout India and other parts of Asia and the Middle East, both in cooking and in traditional herbal preparations. Ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves have especially long histories in warming preparations associated with digestion and after-meal comfort, while their fragrant essential oils give traditional spice blends their unmistakable aroma and character.

Star anise contributes its distinctive sweet, licorice-like spice and has a long history in Asian culinary and herbal traditions, while orange peel adds bright citrus notes that balance the deeper warming spices.

Chai itself has countless variations, with families, regions, and tea makers creating their own combinations of tea, spices, milk, and sweetener. Chai #1 gives you the spices and leaves the tea up to you, enjoy it on its own as a naturally caffeine-free herbal tisane, or combine it with black tea, green tea, rooibos, or another favorite tea to create your own chai.
