Guarana Chai Black Tea
Regular price
Sale
Chai tea with a twist. An innovative and energizing blend of antioxidant-rich black tea, caffeine-fortified guarana, enlivening spices, and a spicy kick of chili flakes.
Pu-erh was chosen as the base of this blend for its rich earthy notes, malty mouth-feel, and elemental character. It is also known to have been used in traditional medicine as a digestive aid, weight-loss activator, and detox cleanser.
The seeds of the guarana plant are a caffeine-rich herbal stimulant that can contain 2-3 times the amount of caffeine found in coffee beans. The caffeine content of the guarana along with an impressive range of antioxidants brew up an ideal tea to help focus the mind and energize the body. The woody sweetness and ginger ale undertones of this herbal pair perfectly with the earthy depth of the Pu-erh tea.
Dandelion and moringa leaves were added for their sweet herbaceous flavors, antioxidants, electrolyte minerals, and numerous purported wellness benefits. The gentle herbaceous tones meld with warm, velvety cocoa flavor, creating layers of depth and intensity to the tea.
Classic chai spices fill the cup, swirling notes of sweet cinnamon and candy cardamom are highlighted by the biting heat of chili pepper flakes. A blend of intense flavors and warm spices that fortifies and vitalizes the mind and body for the whole day. Guarana Chai is the perfect non-traditional chai tea to add to your collection.

Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea or 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the tea or removing the tea bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea or 1 tea bag into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
ANTIOXIDANT BENEFIT: For a greater antioxidant benefit brew longer and use more tea.
FOOD SAFETY ADVISORY: We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today's water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
