Chai Crazy

Chai may have originated in India, but a love for the sweet and spicy tea has swept across the world. The awesome thing about chai tea is that it comes in a huge variety of different blends. Here’s a little list of some of our more daring and adventurous blends..

Chocolate Chipotle Chai mostly organic

chipotle peppers, cardamom, cocoa, assam tea, cinnamon

This blend is a real treat for spice lovers. It’s like mixing hot cocoa, chai, and something super spicy! So essentially it’s amazing. 

Mint and Green Chai organic

green tea, peppermint, cardamom, clove, fennel, black pepper

Did you ever think you’d see those ingredients together? An unexpected combination for the serious chai fans.

Ginger Green Chai organic

ginseng, ginger, cardamom, pepper, green tea

Ginger adds the perfect “spicy in your tummy” touch to this green tea chai.

If you’re a chai fan be sure to check out the rest of our collection on our chai blends page!

I’ve been crazy about chamomile lately…
These pretty little flowers are highly regarded for their effectiveness in calming stomachs and easing anxiety and stress. The flavor is mild and a little sweet like honey! 
Over at the shop we carry a variety of teas with chamomile in them, here’s just a few!

For Starters.
As a full time coffee roaster, many here assume my job is coffee-lovers heaven. It is, but not for the reason they are referring to. They think I get the privilege to show up to work and gorge myself on every type of caffeinated beverage imaginable. Short, tall, and as often as I want. I get to be “wired” all day. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Once one of these customers take a deep breathe and drink some water to calm the jitters fueled by their 20 ounces of syrup with 4 shots, then they could process the fact that coffee is a profession, not an addiction.
For starters. Tea. Almost every morning, before I brew the latest roasted origin, I have tea. Black tea in particular. I’ve enjoyed this little separate ritual long before I ever became a coffee roaster. It’s complex and unique flavors are an enticing adventure.
Above is a personal favorite. “Creme de la Earl Grey” by Tea Chai Té. A nifty little shop in Portland, Oregon.

Hey thanks!
People often think you have to be coffee OR tea, but that’s definitely not true! There is no reason not to be a fan of both.
