There are some cups of tea you drink because you need a little caffeine.

And then there are the cups you drink because you want to slow down and enjoy the moment.

That's where chai comes in.

Warm, aromatic and wonderfully spiced, chai has a way of making an ordinary tea break feel a little more special.

At Indigo Charm Tea Company, we've taken that familiar love of chai and added our own distinctive touch.

Meet Indigo Maple Kissed CHAI.

Warm spice. Smooth tea. A kiss of maple.

What Is Chai?

The word chai simply means "tea" in several languages, but in many English-speaking contexts, chai is commonly used to describe a spiced tea preparation.

Chai is often associated with a combination of tea and aromatic spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and pepper.

The beauty of chai is that the experience can change depending on the ingredients and how they're blended.

That's what makes creating an artisan chai so much fun.

Meet Indigo Maple Kissed CHAI

Our Indigo Maple Kissed CHAI brings together black tea and green tea with a collection of warm, aromatic spices:

• Ginger.

• Cinnamon.

• Cardamom.

• Black pepper.

• White pepper.

• Clove.

• Nutmeg.

And then there's the finishing touch:

Maple. 🍁

The maple adds a distinctive sweetness to the blend, complementing the warmth of the spices and creating the flavor experience that inspired the name Indigo Maple Kissed CHAI.

A Symphony of Spice

One of the things that makes chai so enjoyable is the way individual ingredients work together.

Ginger

Ginger brings a lively warmth to the cup.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon contributes a familiar, comforting spice note.

Cardamom

Cardamom adds an aromatic quality that helps give chai its recognizable character.

Clove

Clove brings depth and a rich spice aroma.

Nutmeg

Nutmeg adds another layer of warmth and complexity.

Black & White Pepper

Pepper provides a subtle spark that keeps the spice profile interesting.

Maple

And finally, maple brings the blend together with its distinctive sweet character.

The result is not one flavor competing with another.

It's a blend designed to create an experience.

Why Maple and Chai?

Chai already has a naturally warm and aromatic personality.

Maple brings something different.

It adds a familiar sweetness and a distinctly cozy character that pairs beautifully with spices.

Think of it as the finishing touch.

Not overpowering.

Not trying to steal the spotlight.

Just enough to make you pause and say:

"There's something special about this."
