Om Shanti Chai - Low Caffeine
We are very pleased to offer our low-caffeine version of a spiced tea blend! Such a glorious blend of fine black tea, herbs and spices all sourced from organic farms in Nepal. We also offer a medium-caffeine version of spiced tea called Sun Salutation, both are incredibly delicious drinks on their own or with milk/milk substitute and honey/sweetener added!
This blend is comprised of our Bodhi Black tea, ginger, cardamom, lemongrass, cinnamon leaf and orange peel. Lighter on the black tea (the only part of the blend containing any caffeine), this one is perfect for afternoon or following an evening meal. For those looking for zero caffeine and wanting that sweet and spicy beverage, we recommend our Golden Road herb/spice blend and for a higher caffeine content, try our Sun Salutation chai.
The aromatics are stunning, both in the dry blend and the beverage itself. When we hold a cup of this in our hands and breathe it in, we are instantly relaxed. Perfectly balanced, the combination of sweet and spicy flavors makes this chai so very engaging, the flavors dancing around the tongue, bringing peace and harmony to mind and body.
To brew, place a healthy heaping teaspoon of the blend in your tea pot, add 8 oz of water at 208º F and steep for 5 minutes. Decant and enjoy. You may re-steep the leaves again for even more soothing hydration. We recommend an initial rinse with the 208º water so as the prime the leaf and warm the pot, just 10 seconds or so and pour off into sink before doing the actual steeping.
Try it with your choice of milk/milk substitute. We love it with a couple ounces of warmed coconut milk and honey stirred in after steeping!
