Chai the way it's meant to taste: spice-forward, warm and real.

Seven ingredients you can say out loud

Black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, nutmeg and black pepper. That's the entire list. Zero grams of sugar. No fillers. Around five calories a cup. The spices are organic-sourced; the finished blend isn't certified organic, and I'd rather tell you exactly what it is.

You decide how sweet it is. We leave the sugar out so the choice stays yours: honey, maple, or nothing at all.

Chai that tastes like someone made it for you.

Barista quality in thirty seconds

Instant here just means fast. Stir it into hot water or steamed milk, and in about thirty seconds you have a cup that tastes like it came from a barista.
