Honu Chai

Ingredients:Organic Black Tea, Chai spice (mixture of Organic Ginger, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Orange, Organic Cardamom, Organic Clove), Organic Maple syrup bits, and Organic Vanilla

Blender's Notes: The best Chai ever. The "Honu" means turtle in the traditional Hawaiian language...and our Chai is meant to be steeped just like a turtle; slow and deliberate. In our on-farm tea shop, we simmer this product in a crock pot all weekend long to make a concentrate. May be enjoyed "as is" or with a touch of your favorite cream-like product (traditional dairy or plant based milk or cream). SO DELICIOUS! Naturally caffeinated and makes for a nice afternoon pick 'r upper choice! This is such a yummy, spicy, vanilla-laden tea treat! Like hot toddies? Honu Chai is a scrumptious base; just add your favorite Bourbon or Scotch to create your personalized  "chai hot toddy". Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 240 servings per pound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings).
