How to make the best cup of chai!
Creating the perfect cup of our signature chai starts with our high-quality signature chai blend, created with high quality loose black teas and spices, which brings out both flavor and aroma.
Begin by heating water to just under boiling to avoid bitterness, which helps the tea release its ideal depth. The milk-to-water ratio is another essential factor—many prefer a 1:1 or 2:1 water-to-milk ratio for a creamy consistency, and the choice of milk can further affect the richness of the chai.
Adjust the amount of tea based on how strong you want it (we recommend 1 tbsp per 8oz cup); a slightly generous amount can create a more intense brew. Allowing the tea and spices to steep and simmer for 3 minutes before adding your choice of milk will allow for flavor profiles to develop.
For the signature double boil, bring the tea mixture to a boil, let it simmer, and then boil it again to deepen the flavor and achieve a vibrant, amber color. Color is a great indicator, with darker shades suggesting a fuller, richer taste. Finally, regular stirring during brewing brings balance, enhances aroma, and locks in flavor for a smooth, well-rounded finish. Each of these steps is key to crafting the perfect cup of chai.
Lastly, there's no perfect formula -- be creative and create your own work of art. Sip and enjoy!
