The Chai Impact

Did you know our tea leaves are hand-picked from Assam, the land of tea gardens?

Tea can create better lives – for tea workers, smallholder tea farmers, and tea drinkers. 

We put immense effort into finding the perfect suppliers; our Tea comes from a sustainable farm. We emphasize valuing tea workers and smallholder farmers' human rights and working to improve their health and financial security while protecting and nurturing the land they work on. 

The Chai Bar Black Tea is so much more than the taste, aroma, & flavor; it goes beyond The Chai Impact.

How to Make

More detailed instructions with the product!

My childhood was filled with summer afternoons playing hop-scotch after school in the humid Bombay heat. Whenever a handcart rolled by, all the children would gather around to get their fill of chilled lemonade. 

Since moving to Ohio, I have started loving Sweet Tea, 

We put our love for Iced Tea and lemonade to make this blend. Iced Tea Lovers galore, add  Lava Lavender Sugar, and make a sweet, sweet tea, haha. 

Apart from the zes'tea taste of this blend, just like our other blends, we put thought and love into picking the ingredients. 

As you know, our Signature Summer Chilled Chai - Sugrisma has internal cooling properties. The herbs and spices selected for Sugrisma help lower body heat and aid digestion. 

Similarly, Citrus Chai has antioxidant properties. Black Tea in itself contains polyphenols that have antioxidant properties.

Drinking Tea may help decrease the risk of chronic disease and improve your overall health.

Black Tea also contains flavonoids, which can benefit heart health. 

Drinking black Tea can also help reduce cholesterol and regulate LDL levels. 

Black Tea has antimicrobial, which may help improve gut health and boost immunity. The addition of Orange and Lemon peels adds vitamin C to the mix, further boosting immunity and reducing inflammation. Adding lemon and orange to the blend boosts weight loss too. Just skip the sugar. 

The citrus also helps relieve congestion, so while we recommend drinking this Chai as a chilled chai, you can always add a few spices and drink it hot. 

Our floral addition to this blend, Marigold, has plenty of health benefits too. Indian traditional medicine uses marigold in tinctures for digestive ailments. Marigold tea can reduce cramps and aid digestion. 

It can relieve symptoms like nausea and menstrual digestive issues like bloating. It is also considered a relaxant. Perfect for summer, right? 

If you love Marigold, try The Chai Bar's Mangalyam Blend - Black Tea, Lavender & Marigold.

Adding ginger and pepper helps cool the body during summer and adds mild heat to the blend kicking it. Ginger has several beneficial properties.
