Rishi Masala Chai black tea is a classic tea blended with traditional spices native to South and Southeast Asia. The tea base features a robust and malty Assam balanced with a lively Orange Pekoe from northern Thailand. The Rishi chai recipe is spicy but well-balanced. Spice highlights include aromatic Guatemalan cardamom, hot and citrusy ginger, and sweet cinnamon. Accents of pungent cracked black pepper and fragrant cloves also come through. Masala Chai Black tea steeps directly in hot water, or brewed on a stovetop. Try your chai simmered traditional style in water and milk. There it gains an added touch of sweetness.

Rishi Masala Chai ingredients are fully organic. They include black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger root, black pepper, and clove. Each box has 15 individually wrapped sachets. The tea bags are of a plant-based, biodegradable material. Rishi recommends brewing each bag for five minutes in 235 mL of water heated to 93C.
