Penetrating depth with a full flavored cup exuding sensuous floral and saucy spice notes. This is a tea that will make memories. In the spirit of sensuousness and discovery offered by Vatsyayana’s ancient text we offer this fabulous tea – a real mélange a spice. A true Indian style chai, this blend is based on good strong Indian and Kenyan teas blended with an ancient spice recipe almost as old as the Kama Sutra itself. The taste is heavenly – ginger and cardamom intermingle with cinnamon, cloves and hints of black pepper. The full-bodied cup is rounded out with floral notes that tempt the taste buds and will have you crying out for more. Brew a pot today and raise a cup to the science of love. (And don’t blame us if it raises a few other things too!)
