Typically your cuppa chai contains: Black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, milk (usually whole) sugar/sweetener. Some variations also include: nutmeg, pepper and star anise. Most chai tea blends contain caffeine because it’s a black tea. Black tea contains about ½ the amount of caffeine as coffee. Rooibos Chai doesn’t contain caffeine. “A cup of tea is a good excuse to share great thoughts with great minds.” - Cristina Re The perfect reason to gather your friends, share your thoughts, enjoy your cuppa and your #teaboxes filled with #gifts of love.
