Ginger Chai – Spicy Masala Black Tea
You asked—we delivered! Ginger Chai brings together our signature house-roasted masala spices with bold, malty Assam black tea and an extra dose of spicy ginger for a lively, warming kick. Full-bodied and aromatic, this blend leans into the heat, building on the familiar comfort of chai with a sharper, more invigorating edge.
Delicious simmered with milk and a touch of sweetener, or steeped in hot water for a simpler cup, Ginger Chai is a satisfying choice for cool mornings, cozy afternoons, or anytime you want a little fire in your cup.
If you’re exploring our chai collection, this one sits on the spicier end of the spectrum. For a more classic take, reach for Chaz’ Chai. Looking for something deeper and richer? Burnside Chai blends black tea with puerh for added depth. Prefer something caffeine-free? Red Chai offers the same masala profile without the tea base, while Dark Forest takes things in a Pacific Northwest direction with an herbal twist. For something more floral or unexpected, Kashmiri Chai and Bombay Breakfast each bring their own unique character to the table.

Brewing Instructions
8 oz Cup
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of tea into your infuser.
- Heat water to 212° F (boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 4-5 minutes (depending on taste preference). Can also be simmered in milk, then strained.
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
With Milk
Alternately, the chai blend can be simmered in milk for a few minutes; stirring so as to not scorch the milk. If desired, add sweetener at the end. You'll have to strain it this way, but the resulting drink is richer.
Potful
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 212° F water and let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser, add milk, sugar and serve!
Brewing Iced Tea
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
