Wight Tea Co. Chai

Our namesake chai, warm and full of spice.

A masala-style blend of bold black tea with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and cracked black peppercorns. It's warm, a little sweet and spiced, and it was made for a splash of cream and a spoon of sugar. Brew it strong and top it with steamed milk for a chai latte.

It's the chai we put our name on.
