Description

Chai tea blend

Chai tea blend is an aromatic and spiced combination traditionally used to prepare an infusion originating from India. This blend typically includes a base of black tea along with a variety of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and black pepper, which give it its characteristic warm and slightly spicy flavor.

Chai tea has a long tradition in Indian culture, where it is consumed both for its stimulating properties and its benefits for digestion and overall well-being. In addition to its use in infusions, this blend has become popular worldwide and is used in various cooking recipes, from beverages to desserts and baked goods.

Among its properties, it stands out for its ability to improve digestion, thanks to spices like ginger and cardamom, and its energizing effect due to containing black tea with moderate caffeine. It is also known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

In the Hispanic world, chai tea can be found under different names or descriptions that refer to its combination of spices, although there is no exact consolidated synonym. Some ways it is referred to include chai spice blend, spiced tea, or simply chai tea.
