Emerald Chai - Whole Spice Blend

Touted to be one of the healthiest beverages in the world, as well as a traditional medicine in China and Japan for thousands of years, consuming green tea may have a positive effect on skin health by reducing skin inflammation, help with weight loss, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, among other potential health benefits. Green tea comes from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis bush and is one of the least processed types of tea, containing the most antioxidants and beneficial organic protective plant compounds, known as polyphenols, protecting the body against disease, and contributing towards a healthy, balanced diet. Green tea gets its name from the Emerald green colour created when brewing these unprocessed, unfermented leaves, hence reflecting the name of our Emerald Chai. Unsweetened brewed green tea contains less than 3 calories per cup and contains a relatively small amount of caffeine, 29 mg per 8-ounce cup. Compared with black tea, which has around 47mg per cup, and coffee, which has around 95mg per cup. Green Tea has got to be doing something right! 

INGREDIENTS:
Ginger*, Cinnamon*, Cardamom*, Cloves*, Orange Peel*, Green Tea**, Tulsi Tea*, Black Pepper*.(*Organic, **Fair Trade Organic).

METHOD:
For a quick and easy chai at home: 1. Choose your jug and add 1-2 good tablespoons of chai. (I use a 600ml silver barista milk steaming jug). 2. Pour in freshly brewed hot water (just below simmering is good), until it reaches the bottom of where the spout begins. You want your chai nice and milky. Mix until well combined. 3. Add hot milk of choice and fill to the brim. Mix again until combined. 4. Strain into your favourite cup/mug, and Voila! You’ve made yourself a quick and delicious chai latte. Enjoy! 

Note: Our Whole Spice Blends are made without sweetener. If you would like to sweeten, add 1-2 tablespoons per cup of your chosen sweetener at Step 2, stir until dissolved. (Try Emerald Chai without milk, and sweetened with just a dash of organic honey). Oriental Opulence!

TASTING NOTES:
A harmonious, herbal blend of organic green tea surrounded by anti-inflammatory spices accompanied by best friends forever, holy basil Tulsi. A truly consistent healthy chai.
