Origin: Black tea from Yunnan, China. Spices from United States.  

Flavor Profile: Broad flavors of cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and other ancient secret spices... Our chai is rich and balanced. Subtly sweet- even without the addition of milk and sugar. When prepared traditionally (simmered in milk with sugar) our masala chai is full-flavored, spicy, sweet, creamy, and deep. 

Tea Story: Samovar's Masala Chai has people from all over the Bay Area coming for that cozy, creamy, and dreamy experience. Our secret masala chai recipe was created from a combination of several collected family recipes from across India.We use only organic whole spices and organic, fair trade whole-leaf black tea. The resulting drink is a perfect and flavorful balance of spice and tea... and totally addictive. 

Masala is Hindi for "spice" and Chai means "tea"- so Masala Chai simply means "Spiced Tea." 

And now, wherever you are, you can take our chai with you.

Samovarian Poetry: Spicy, creamy, and everything nice. Who doesn’t love chai? Cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves...just add whole milk or rice milk and some raw cane sugar!

Food Pairing: Pair Samovar's Masala Chai with Indian food of course! Here at the tea lounge, we'll drink it while nibbling on turmeric flavored cookies and cakes or savoring tofu curry over basmati rice. Sip on our chai while enjoying a chocolate pastry so the chocolate goodness can mingle with the vibrant spices and sweet creaminess in your mouth. Yum.
