"I love the blend of matcha and chai spices. It's like my favorite matcha latte with the comfort I love from chai"
What is Matcha Masala Chai?
Matcha… and Chai? For some of you, this might raise an eyebrow. We get it, it’s a flavor combo that’s bold and different—and that’s exactly why it's so good. Once you try it, you will feel like every matcha latte after is missing a little spice. This unexpected flavor duo is one you won’t forget, and it just might become your new summer obsession.
Our Matcha Masala Chai combines smooth, organic ceremonial matcha powder with our signature blend of six organic chai spices. The result is a cup that is both grounding and energizing—every sip feels like an exploration of the present moment.
What is matcha, and what does matcha taste like?
Matcha is a fine green powder made from green tea leaves. The tea plants are shade grown before harvest, a traditional cultivation method that contributes to matcha’s vibrant green color and distinctive flavor. Matcha is traditionally whisked into hot water. High grade or ceremonial grade matcha should taste earthy, grassy, and mildly sweet on its own. Lower quality matcha tends to taste fishy or closer to a cup of over steeped green tea.
Does matcha have caffeine?
Yes, it does. Matcha green tea offers a calm, balanced tea drinking experience thanks to its naturally occurring caffeine and L-theanine. Because matcha is a green tea, the amount of caffeine per cup is much less than a regular cup of coffee. One of the things matcha lovers enjoy most about the experience is the gentle, calm energy it brings. Matcha is known for not having the “spike and crash” that can happen when you drink coffee. With matcha, the caffeine is released slowly, giving you a smoother energy that lasts throughout the day.
Instant and Full Of Flavor
When you have a busy schedule, it can be hard to feel like you can make time for yourself. Something that normally takes time and intention to prepare, like matcha, can feel out of reach. We want to help make these moments for yourself feel more attainable. Our instant chai blends take the stress out of prep, making it easier to take a moment for you without loosing out on flavor.
When you hear instant, that can mean flavor gets compromised, or imply the use of preservatives and fillers. With Blue Lotus Chai, we create instant chai blends that are rich with flavor because we source only the freshest spices and tea. With our sourcing and blending methods, we’re able to achieve a flavor that is often compared to chai that’s been simmering for hours. The best part is, our blends are just tea and spices. No preservatives, fillers, or artificial flavors.
Thoughtfully Sourced Matcha and Spices
Our Matcha Chai is no different. We took our time to source the best quality matcha to blend with our chai spices. We use organic ceremonial grade matcha green tea from Japan. The earthy richness of fresh organic matcha powder is balanced by warming notes of ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, black pepper, and nutmeg, creating a uniquely comforting take on the classic matcha latte. This blend stays true to what’s most important to us at Blue Lotus Chai—high quality, organic ingredients—and we know you’ll taste the difference.
Rethink Your Matcha
If you're looking for an alternative to coffee, an easier way to enjoy matcha, or a mindful moment in your day, our Matcha Masala Chai offers smooth, focused energy with the warmth and depth of traditional chai spices. Whether you only have a quick minute, or more time to slow down and savor, our instant blends can meet you where you are. Simply mix with hot water and customize it your way with milk and sweetener, or enjoy it iced for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up.
