Green TeaChai

Green teas are differentiated from other tea categories by their lack of oxidation. A gentle cooking process denatures the enzymes within the leaves which prevents the tea from oxidizing. This process brings out the distinct hearty vegetal flavors of Chinese green teas and the grassy savoriness of Japanese teas. An Indian tea drink, chai has taken the world by storm. Traditionally, masala chai (“mixed-spice tea”) is made from black Assam tea brewed in milk, with aromatic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper. Some like their chai unsweetened, while many like it with sweetener to bring out the spice. Other variations include a base of green or rooibos tea. While most people appreciate it purely for the warming, delicious taste, chai also supports immune function, reduces inflammation, and aids in digestion.
