Afghani Chai

A hand-crafted, evocative blend of organic Assam black tea, organic red poppy flowers, green cardamom, star anise, ginger, clove, and black pepper, this invigorating Afghani Chai may be either steeped or traditionally boiled in water with milk. (Add a handful of chopped fresh ginger for additional heat, and sweeten to taste.) Fragrant and seductive, this chai is perfect to enjoy anytime and makes your home smell utterly divine.
