Loose Leaf Chai Tea. Warm Spice, Bold Flavor, & Full of Flavor

There’s something about chai that just makes you feel good. 🤎

Maybe it’s the wonderful aroma that fills the room while it steeps. Maybe it’s the combination of bold tea and warm spices. Or maybe it’s simply that first cozy sip that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your time with tea.

Whatever the reason, loose leaf chai is one of those teas that never seems to go out of style.

And at The Tea Time Shop, we think chai deserves to be enjoyed exactly the way you like it hot, iced, creamy, sweet, spicy or somewhere in between.

What Is Chai Tea?

The word chai simply means “tea,” but what we commonly call chai is inspired by masala chai, the traditional spiced tea enjoyed throughout India.

Chai typically begins with a strong black tea combined with aromatic spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and black pepper. Different blends can have different combinations of spices, which means one chai can taste completely different from another.

Some are bold and spicy. Others are smooth and slightly sweet. And then there are delicious twists like Chocolate Chai that take things in an entirely different direction. 

That's part of the fun of discovering chai, there's a chai for almost every kind of tea lover.

🤎 Why Choose Loose Leaf Chai?

Open a bag of loose leaf chai and you'll understand why we love it.

You can see the tea leaves and spices, smell those wonderful aromas and watch everything open and mingle as it steeps.

Loose leaf chai also gives you the freedom to make your cup your way. Want a stronger chai? Add a little more tea or give it a slightly longer steep. Prefer something lighter? Adjust it to your taste.

That's one of the things we love most about loose leaf tea, you get to create your perfect cup.

Hot Chai — Cozy in a Cup

When the weather gets chilly, there aren't many things better than a steaming cup of chai.

Enjoy your chai straight, add a splash of milk, or sweeten it to taste.

Want something extra cozy? Turn it into a homemade chai latte. Brew your chai a little stronger, add warm or frothed milk and your favorite sweetener.

Now find your favorite chair and enjoy. 😉

TTS Tip: When adding milk, steep your chai slightly stronger so the wonderful tea and spice flavors aren't lost.

Chai Over Ice? Absolutely!

Who decided chai was only for cold weather?

Not us! 😄

Loose leaf chai makes a fantastic iced tea.

Brew it a little stronger than you normally would, allow it to cool slightly and pour it over plenty of ice. Drink it just like that or add milk for a creamy iced chai latte.

You still get those wonderful chai spices, just in a cool and refreshing way.

At The Tea Time Shop, we believe Tea Time doesn't have a season.

Hot in January? Chai.
Iced in July? Chai.

We'll happily drink both. 

Have You Tried Chocolate Chai?

Of course, we can't talk about chai without mentioning one of our favorites.

Our Chocolate Chai Tea combines bold black tea, warm chai spices, chocolate chips, and rich chocolate c flavor for a cup that's comforting, indulgent and seriously delicious.

It's one of our most popular teas and one of the best chais we have to offer and once you taste it, you'll understand why.

Drink it hot for a cozy treat, add milk and make a chocolate chai latte, or pour it over ice for something cool and decadent.

Chocolate + Chai = a match made in Tea Time heaven.
