Chai with a campfire in it.

Black tea blended with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper, with an earthy, smoky finish that feels like sitting by the fire with a mug in your hands. Brew it strong, stir in a little maple syrup, and top it with steamed milk for a smoky chai latte.

The smoke comes from Lapsang Souchong, a pine-smoked black tea in the blend.

Flavor notes: smoky, warm spice, ginger, peppery finish

Not my cuppa

I love Wight teas and have not come across one that I disliked until this one :( Definitely my mistake to jump in and buy a 30 cup bag before trying it, but this has a very strong wood flavor, it reminds me of drinking antique furniture! I should have ordered the smaller pack (or hint hint to the company, if with each order there is an option to sample a bag of another tea, that would be great). I hate to leave a low star review but wanted to warn others who may not like as strong woodsy flavor of tea, try it first. I'm glad there are many who enjoy it, but this one is not my cuppa.

I totally agree with you, Candice. Our Smoked Chai is definitely a polarizing tea. Your description that it reminds you of drinking antique furniture made me laugh - I am that person that would love a cup of antique furniture and love it, lol! But on the more serious side: I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy the tea. I wonder if you like Old Fashioneds? I'm going to send you an email.

As for your recommendation: we hear you and we're working on single, sample-sized purchasable options. Coming soon!
