Looking for an all natural Chai with an extra kick? Look no further. Roasted Mate Chai with its heady blend of Brazilian mate, black tea, and rich spices has a taste and oomph. The kick comes from the caffeine content of mate, sometimes called matteine, which is generally higher than that of black tea. Mate has been a staple beverage throughout Brazil since before the arrival of the first Europeans. Early natives harvested, and later cultivated Matte, in some cases developing rituals for its consumption. Nowadays, Mate is normally consumed in a special hollow gourd sipped through a stainless steel straw, frequently elaborately decorated and quite beautiful, passed from person to person. The refined method in which Mate is consumed starkly contrasts with the way in which Indian Chai is normally enjoyed. In India, Chai Wallahs, or sellers, ply their trade in dusty truck stops, bus terminals, packed passenger trains, you name it. The tea is blended with an array of spices, prepared in great cauldrons with fresh whole milk, and ultimately served in small clay cups that patrons will often simply discard in the street. No trip to India is complete without a cup or two! From Brazil to India, we’ve taken the best of both worlds and combined them to produce a cup that imparts notes of mocha, spice, and a mellow roasted character. If you’re in the mood for a spicy pick-me-up on a cool morning, Roasted Mate Chai is your tea. Enjoy!
