Golden Chai No.35 - Organic & Fairtrade - Bradley's - 25 tea bags

A spiced black tea from Bradley's
Golden Chai No.35 is a classic masala chai: robust black Ceylon tea as the base, plenty of cinnamon and cardamom on top, and a warm, almost sweet hint of vanilla that takes the edge off the clove and the pepper.

Ingredients
Flavoured black tea with spices: black tea (49%)*, cinnamon (17.5%)*, ginger (10%)*, clove (6.5%)*, nutmeg (6%)*, pepper (5%)*, cardamom (5%)*, natural vanilla flavouring (1%). *Of organic origin. The box holds 25 bags of 1.5 grams, 37.5 grams in total, each sealed in its own aroma envelope.

How to brew it
Pour water at 100 °C over one bag and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer you leave it, the further the spices step forward. Chai takes milk well, so a splash of whole or plant-based milk is welcome.

Also as a chai latte
Steep two bags for five minutes in a small amount of hot water, top up with frothed milk and sweeten to taste with honey or cane sugar.

Organic and Fairtrade
Pure Ceylon tea, packed in Sri Lanka, carrying the EU organic label (NL-BIO-01). The tea, cinnamon and ginger are sourced, traded and audited as Fairtrade, which covers 76.5% of the contents; Fairtrade tea may be mixed with non-certified tea on a mass balance basis.

Packaging
The box doubles as a dispenser and goes in with the paper recycling once it is empty, as do the envelopes; the tea bag itself belongs with the organic waste.
