Cardamom plants grow in the monsoon forests of southern India. Known as the “Queen of Spices,” the prized seed pods have been sought after for thousands of years. Belonging to the same family of plants as ginger, cardamom has an intensely aromatic fragrance and a warm, spicy flavour.
Traditionally, the kings of India drank Chai that contained this flavorful spice. With yerba mate as the base for our chaï, we’ve added the best of fresh cardamom and other spices to create a royal cup of tea, pleasant with milk and honey.
All ingredients are certified organic: green yerba maté, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, clove, chicory, and black pepper.
Preparation: Allow one tablespoon of loose maté for each cup of tea. If steeping, strain after 5-10 minutes. French presses, automatic drip or espresso machines, tea balls, etc. can also be used to brew loose maté.
