Chai Tea – From Our Family to Yours
It’s said that every family in India has its own special recipe for chai, the spiced hot tea that has long been the favorite beverage of Southeast Asia. Some households prefer a richer cup with an additional dash of milk or extra sweetness from honey or sugar, while others enjoy a more piquant recipe that’s dominated by black pepper and cardamom.
We’ve perfected our own “family recipes” for chai by blending fine black, white and red teas from around the world with fragrant spices like cinnamon, cloves and Chinese star anise and carefully selected flavors like vanilla and coconut. With such creative combinations of all-natural ingredients, our unique chai blends are global in inspiration and unquestionably Celestial Seasonings in taste.
Drinking herb teas was widespread in Europe long before the arrival of black tea, and some of today’s favorites such as chamomile, peppermint and rosehips have long been well-known standards.
