Our collection of global tea represents all the traditional tea producing nations with their signature varieties. Over the past 4000 years, the tea plant spread to each of these nations, where it took on a unique form and flavor due to the regional terroir, namely the local soil quality, humidity, altitude, and temperature. Each region also developed specialized methods of processing the tea leaf to obtain a particular taste and form. Shaped by the traditions of their culture, local tea masters are still developing and perfecting regional tea around the world. Explore our collection!
Caffeine naturally occurs in the tea plant, causing all traditional teas to have a naturally occurring amount level of caffeine. Chemical processes can be used to extract most of the caffeine from tea leaves, however we do not carry these processed decaf teas. We do, however, have a variety of herbal teas that are naturally 100% caffeine free. On the other hand, other traditional teas are naturally highly caffeinated. These ones create a sustained buzz that won't result in the familiar unwanted "crash" that often follows coffee.
This strong spiced chai kicks the cold away with the season’s boldest flavors: red rooibos, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, chai spices and a kiss of vanilla come together in this complex yet balanced herbal chai tea. Naturally caffeine-free and high in antioxidants and minerals, Red Hot Chai’s rooibos base provides health benefits and a mild honey sweetness to compliment the bold flavors of a traditional masala chai. Absolutely decadent when made with steamed milk as a chai tea latte (see recipe tab), Red Hot Chai is sure to please palates any time of day this season.

Author: Linda Lunbeck SO flavorful and delicious, with a nice warm glow from the spices. Attractive looking, too. Well done, Tea Spot folks...another spot-on blend!
Chai Tea Latte (Makes 2 drinks)
Steep 2 heaping tsp Red Hot Chai in boiling water for seven minutes, to make the tea base. While tea is steeping, heat 1/4 cup milk, either with an automatic whisk, or a milk steamer or foamer. Spoon the hot foamed milk, dividing evenly, into two 10–12 oz mugs. Pour the ready Red Hot Chai over the foamed milk in each mug and serve immediately. Sweeten with honey, if desired. A soothing spiced chai tea favorite!
