Kenyan Chai
So chai is popular the world over and from what I can tell, the recipes for chai are typically pretty similar in the spices used (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, etc.). We had some rich GFOP Kenyan black tea which I thought would be great for a chai blend, but I wanted to combine the Kenyan tea with spices that are more specific to Kenya. So I did a little research and I found that in Kenya folks do a lot of cooking with Ras el Hanout, which literally translates “top of the shelf” and consists of a mixture of a bunch of the best spices available in the region. They grind all of these spices together and the result is Ras el Hanout. The specific mixture of spices included is frequently a well-guarded proprietary secret, but the Ras el Hanout that I used for this chai listed the ingredients as:“Tumeric, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, anise seed, cardamom, galangal, anise star, cayenne pepper, garlic, nigella, paprika, rosebuds, salt, ajwan seeds, lavender blossoms, mace and other spices.”
Whatever is in it, it is very fragrant, and it makes a lovely and interesting chai that is at once familiar and still just different enough to make it unique.
Chai te er noe jeg er svært glad i, spesielt i en chai latte. Gleder meg til å prøve denne. Krydder kombinasjonen er spesiell, og kan gi en spennende karrakter på teen.
Cranberry Salad Green Tea
I got some top-shelf organic green tea from China and I was having a
hard time deciding what to do with it until I happened across a recipe
for cranberry salad with pineapple and marshmallows. It looked so good I
had to try my hand at creating it as a tea. So here we have organic
Chinese green pekoe tea blended with freeze-dried cranberries and
pineapple, organic marshmallow root and organic flavors. This is going
to be hard to beat. And it makes a great iced tea too.
Sri Lankan Pumpkin Chai
So I’m really enjoying this Pettaiagala Extra Long Leaf OP we got in
from Sri Lanka, and I know the pumpkin chai blends go over better in the
fall, but I couldn’t help thinking that this would make an awesome
pumpkin chai. So we blended it with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg,
black peppercorns and organic pumpkin and other flavors.
Lemon Meringue Mao Zhen Hair Needle Green Tea
Wow, that’s a mouthful. And this tea is a mouthful of deliciousness.
This organic Chinese green tea is sweet with just a hint of almost
salmon-like butteriness. I’ve paired it with lemon verbena, marshmallow
roots and lemon-, marshmallow- and pastry- organic flavors. Be prepared
to have your socks knocked off with this one.
Black Silk Chocolate Milk Qu Hao
Mount Wuyi, in Fujian China is primarily known for oolongs, but this
rare black tea is harvested only a short time each year. It is naturally
low in tannins, giving it an exquisitely smooth finish which, combined
with its natural chocolate notes, earned it the nickname “Black Silk”.
We’ve upped the ante by adding some organic chocolate and marshmallow
flavors, cacao nibs and marshmallow root.

Denne har jeg prøvd. Fikk ca 3 liter te utav den. Syntes det for det meste smakte grønn te. De andre smakene forsvant.
HONEYBUSH - Date Nut Bread Iced Tea
Organic honeybush is the perfect compliment to this melding of delicious
