Celestial Seasonings Chai Tea, Original India Spice, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

Celestial Seasonings has a nice chai spice mix. They combine ginger, cardamon, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pepper and black tea. Spicy and tasty with cream.

Celestial Seasonings gets extra points for their packaging: they utilize 100% natural recycled paperboard in their boxes and they don't package each tea bag individually. Instead they use a system of a waxed paper bag inside the box that stays shut when you fold it. It keeps the bags fresh and utilizes less packaging than individually wrapping each bag. The art they use on each box is beautiful as are the quotes and information they put on every surface.

Quote from the box:

"Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are." George Eliot.

I heard a lot about Chai tea and was very curious. The one from Celestial is the only one I tried so far but I have to say it is great. As said in the instructions, replace a 1/4 of the hot water with milk. I love my tea with a lot of milk but while it usually weakens the taste, milk is mandatory here. Due to this it even convinced a person who rejected tea before as 'coloured hot water'. Actually, it resembles a bit a light latte with a hint of cinnamon and cardamom. Yummy!
