Silk Road — Earl Grey Masala Chai

Wanna make this one straight-up? Masala chai is designed to be steeped in warm milk (or a milk alternative) to draw all the flavors out of the blend, but hey, we're not your boss, do what you want. Here's instructions to do it straight.

• Use 7g (≈1 tbsp) of leaf per ½ liter (≈17 oz) of water.
• Use boiling (90°C/195°F) water
• Steep for 3 minutes, strain leaves, and enjoy!

• If you make this straight-up, don't forget to try for multiple infusions! Just add time to each steep.
  • For under 2:00 steep times, add 30 sec.
  • For 2:00 to 4:00, add 1 minute.
  • For over 4:00, add 2 minutes or more.
• Want just a little milk in your tea, rather than just a full latte? Steep an extra couple minute!
• Too strong? Take off a minute, or use less  leaf instead!
• Too light? Kick it up another minute, or use more leaf instead!

• Organic Thai black tea
• Guatemalan cardamom pods
• Organic Chinese Dian Hong black tea
• Organic Indian ginger root
• Vietnamese Mekong cinnamon chips
• Organic American lemon peel

We are a small independent operation, with very few employees. Our employees work as quickly as they can, but we don't have a warehouse to operate out of with dedicated employees. As such, orders may take anywhere from 1-5 business days to ship. Thank you for understanding.
