Chai, dressed for the evening. Beneath the Malabar spices — ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, black and white pepper — this one hides a bouquet: jasmine, rose, and lavender petals woven through a full-flavoured black tea from Assam and Kerala. Spice first, flowers in the finish, and a depth that keeps unfolding as the cup cools. Romance is not too strong a word.

Ingredients: Black tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, black + white pepper, clove, nutmeg, jasmine, rose, and lavender petals. Caffeine: Medium.
Brewing: 1 tsp per cup, freshly boiled water, 3–5 minutes. Try it without milk first — the florals are the point.

Available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 oz.
