EXOTIC OASIS
flavour profile: specially blended for rapid brewing & the ultimate chai taste
ingredients: rich black tea & aromatic spices of ginger root, cinnamon bark, cardamom, anise seed, clove, allspice
Our Tea Master has created EXPRESS CHAI to give you authentic chai taste, but with a shorter brewing time. We love traditionally brewed chai tea, but it can take added steeping time to bring out the full flavour of the black tea & spices against the creamy milk. EXPRESS CHAI steeps more quickly than traditional chai tea, enabling you to make a delicious cup of your favourite drink faster!
As always, we start with high quality loose black tea & spices, but the ingredients are specially cut & cured, which allows them to release flavour more quickly. You may notice that there are some smaller tea leaves & pieces in this tea than is usual for Silk Road Teas, & it's in order to assist with rapid infusion.
Our current packaging for teabags is a compostable recycled paper material, as shown in these images. We are sold out of the original red & white packaging at this time.
There are shortages of packaging materials at this time, stemming from the impact of the pandemic on a number of industries, so we aren’t yet sure what packaging these will be available in once this style of kraft satchels sells out! If any changes occur, we’ll update these photos so you can see what’s next.
Now available in three sizes - see BUY MORE, SAVE MORE for details.
Buy more, save more
Teabags are available in three sizes:
A zip top satchel: containing 12 teabags. Each individual tea bag brews a generous two cup serving of tea. Perfect for everyday use, travel & gifts.
38 unwrapped teabags: (contains one type of tea). Perfect for households & workplaces where you like to drink a lot of tea (or want to encourage more tea drinking)! More tea = happier, healthier people. When you purchase this size, you’re saving 13% as compared to the standard 12 teabag format. To maintain the tea’s freshness when purchasing this size, we recommend transferring the teabags into an airtight container away from exposure to light & heat.
85 individually wrapped teabags: (contains one type of tea per bulk package of 85 teabags). Our individual wrap is compostable cellulose, sustainably sourced from FSC managed forests. Individually wrapped teabags are perfect for the home & workplaces. These are also great for taking single teabags with you when you are on the go. They also make great favours for weddings, showers, kid’s birthdays, fundraisers, swag bags & more.
Please note that this is the only size format that we offer individually wrapped teabags in—they are not available for purchase in smaller quantities. When you purchase this size, you’re saving 24% as compared to the standard 12 teabag format & getting the added value of the individually wrapped teabag. Please note that compostable materials including the individual wrap for these teabags will deteriorate when exposed to sunlight & heat. Store these in a cupboard or drawer away from exposure to light & heat, which will also maximize the tea’s freshness.
recipe ideas
To make a chai tea latte, pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over one teabag. While the tea is steeping, steam milk (or non-dairy alternative). Once the milk is steamed, pour it over the hot tea for instant happiness.
Optional: add sweetener to taste. For authentic chai, use palm sugar to sweeten. Find it in Chinatown or ethnic food stores.
