Masala Chai is a traditional Indian sweetened milk tea made by blending black tea with spices, sweetener, and hot milk. Our Traditional Masala Chai is made with brewed black tea, dried into a powder, and combined with our signature organic spices. It dissolves easily in hot water, so no steeping or straining is required.

Due to supply chain disruptions, our 3oz, 2oz, and .5oz packaged masala chai varieties do not include a bamboo spoon. While we are sad to see the spoons go, this shift has opened the door to new ideas—so stay tuned to see how we continue to enhance the Blue Lotus Chai experience.

If, like us, you are grieving the loss of the beloved bamboo spoon, we recommend this local maker for your tiny spoon needs.

Sadly, our mint and mandarin varieties have been discontinued. An easy way to recreate our Mint or Mandarin Chai at home is to prepare a cup using our Traditional Masala Chai blend, and add a few drops of peppermint or orange extract. We recommend starting with 1–2 drops and adjusting to taste. We personally like using the Organic Peppermint Extract and Organic Orange Extract from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Our 2oz and 3oz tins are reusable and refillable, and our 8oz and 1lb bulk bags are packaged with Omnidegradable© materials.

Blue Lotus Chai is calorie-free until milk or sweetener is added. We encourage you to make it your own.

Yes, our chai is vegan and gluten-free! Many people use their favorite plant-based milk—almond, soy, rice, coconut, oat, and others—and absolutely love it. For a creamier chai, we recommend using a higher ratio of milk to water, especially with thinner plant-based milks.

Our chai blends have between 17-31 mg of caffeine per quarter teaspoon serving, depending on the variety. That’s about 1/5 to 1/3 the caffeine of an 8 oz cup of coffee.

Caffeine content may vary slightly due to the natural differences in tea leaves and blending.

We source finely ground ginger and turmeric root powders. While we send all of our chai blends through a fine mesh screen before packaging, sometimes a plant fiber will sneak through the screen. Feel free to contact us at info@bluelotuschai.com if you are ever unsure what you are seeing in your chai.

Our Traditional Masala Chai is the spiciest, while our rooibos varieties are milder. We encourage you to try them all to find the best fit for you. Try our chai collections to try all of our varieties.

Tip: Try playing with the chai to milk/water ratio to find the right spice level for you.
