Information
A number of years ago, our Master Taster was visiting a tea plantation in Assam, way up in northern India. With the mercury peaking at a sweltering 41 degrees, a tea factory assistant asked if he might like a drink of water. Naturally, he replied in the affirmative. Moments later he was handed a glass of water, which he raised to his lips and discovered was piping hot - not the cold water he was expecting. The assistant, taking note of his puzzled expression, explained that hot water actually cools the body faster than cold. How? By raising the body's internal core temperature to create a sort of equilibrium with external heat. To our Master Taster's surprise, it worked.
Much more recently, while mulling over new tea recipes in our tasting room, he recalled the experience and decided to blend a hot spicy chai based on the cooling principle above. Organic Hot Flash Chai was the result. Starting with organic luxury grade black tea leaves, he added a host of Indian spices, including Fenugreek - a 'warming' herb, according to Indian Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Wonderfully rich with profound spicy depths, Organic Hot Flash Chai will balance you out sip after sip. Exceptional on its own, or with a splash of warm milk, get ready for a hot flash!
