Ingredients
Ginger
This potent ingredient offers a warming note and nourishment in every sip. It is suggested that ginger helps relieve and relax the throat muscles, as well as containing antiviral and antibacterial properties that promote a healthy immune system.
Cinnamon
One of the traditional ingredients in masala chai, cinnamon adds a beautiful earthy flavour. The health benefits of cinnamon may improve gut health and contain anti-inflammatory effects.
Cardamon
This is one of the most divine spices, with warming and fragrant attributes. When the pod is crushed the seeds release their aroma and infuse the chai. Some consider this spice to health with digestion, reducing stress and immunity.
Star Anise
We cannot deny the beauty of this spice. The shiny seeds and the earth husk offer a distinct and gentle aniseed flavour that, when combined with the other spices, provides warmth and earthy tones.
Organic Ceylon Tea
The signature blend of What the Chai uses this black tea as a flavour, not the main ingredient. This results in a low caffeine chai. Ceylon tea is known for its smooth and flavoursome characteritics.
Bay Leaves
The bold bay leaf offers a fragrant herbal and floral element to What the Chai. The health benefits of Bay Leaf suggest that consumption may help gut health by reducing toxins in the body.
Cloves
Cloves have long been known for killing bacteria and used for tooth aches in natural therapies. The flower bud from the clove tree, cloves have a strong, sweet and pungent flavour. This is another traditional spice of Masala chai and essential in What the Chai.
Black Peppercorns
The peppercorn is one of the most commonly used spices in everyday cooking for seasoning. We carefully add black peppercorns to add just enough heat and spice.
Organic Agave
We use organic agave syrup as a conductor of flavour for our signature sticky chai blend - What the Chai. Just enough of this plant-based vegan sweetener is added to combine the spices and give you the perfectly balanced chai.
Nutmeg
This spice is considered to have known health benefits for assisting the immune system and promoting blood circulation. It may also boost your mood and libido. A small amount of nutmeg is used to add a beautiful earthy and fragrant layer to your chai experience.
