Our practice of direct trade is not just a romance story or marketing gimmick; it is the very foundation of our quality control program. Our travel and hands-on work with farmers allows us to verify where, when and how our organic teas arc grown and to offer traceability on each lot back to the farm. Health & Wellness: The reverence and study of plants is at the core of our identity. We believe that health and wellness begins in the garden and kitchen. Crafted for both function and flavor, our tea and botanical blends are created to be the pillar of your pursuit for balance. Our tea sachets are made from a plant-based, food-safe material called polylactic acid (PLA). Masala chai is a classic blend of black tea and spices that is designed to be simmered in water and milk, then sweetened to taste. In fact, the name masala means mixed spices and chai is hindi for tea. We begin with thoughtfully selected black teas from gardens in South and Southeast Asia that offer a robust, full body and malty flavor. Then we add our signature range of spices to create a hot, yet balanced cup, with central notes of ginger, cardamom and sweet cassia cinnamon. The result is a blend that is balanced enough to enjoy on its own while also divine in the traditional way with a touch of milk and honey. Caffeine Level: High. www.rishi-tea.com.
