Masala Chai

on the preferences of the blender. Our basic recipe follows
the way Chai is drank in the foothils of the himalayas. It contains
green cardammon, ginger, cinnamon and cloves with no black pepper
or nutmeg.
7) Are Yogic
Chai Blends Vegan; meaning dairy free?
Yes, Yogic Chai blends are all
vegan. We use no syrups, no concentrates, no sugars and no dairy.
8) Do Yogic
Chai blends have caffeine?
Most of them do, since most of
them are made with Black Tea as the tea base, but we also offer
a Decaf blend made with Rooibos.
It is important to mention that
Black Tea contains about 1/3rd the amount of caffeine of a cup
of coffee and caffeine from tea is also absorbed much slower
in the body than coffee.
If you are sensitive to caffeine,
as well as our Decaf blend, we have two other blends that have
very little caffeine. "Kuki Chai Masala" is made with
Kukicha Tea as base. Kukicha is known to be the least caffeinated
of all teas from the Camellia Sinensis plant. "White Masala
Chai" is made with White tea which is also known to be
very low in caffeine.
