"Whisking together my personal recipe of spices and tea into the perfect cup of chai was a ritual I loved sharing with my late husband, Floyd. It's also something I do for myself whenever I need a hug." -Barkha Cardoz

Our Masala Chai was made in partnership with Barkha Cardoz and Art of Tea. Barkha’s signature masala chai recipe features Art of Tea’s rich, malty Assam tea blended with our single-origin spices, including Cloud Forest Cardamom, Buffalo Ginger, Robusta Black Peppercorns, Cinnamon Verum, Pemba Cloves and Grenada Gold Nutmeg. The resulting blend offers a sweet, spicy, and sensory experience that’s both energizing and soothing. Barkha recommends giving the tin a gentle shake to wake up the spices.

Brew 1–2 tsp tea with 8 oz water at 206 °F. Steep 5–8 minutes. Sweeten and add milk of choice as desired.
