Kolkata Chai Co Signature Chai Tea Bags, 15-Count Compostable Bags — Organic Assam Black Tea with Ginger & Cardamom

Kolkata Chai Signature Chai is a ready-to-brew spiced tea in 15 compostable tea bags, pairing single-origin Organic Assam black tea with traditional Indian spices for a brisk, balanced cup.

Crafted from leaves sourced at a single-origin tea estate in India, these tea bags combine robust Assam black tea with a hand-blended mix of spices to recreate an authentic Kolkata-style chai experience at home. The bags are made from plant-based, compostable material with no plastics, and the blend contains no added sugars, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Gentle natural compounds such as L-theanine—present in Assam tea—are part of the leaf chemistry, contributing to Assam's distinctive flavor profile and steady caffeine release compared with some other black teas.

What does this chai taste like and when should I drink it?

The blend yields a full-bodied, malty black-tea base brightened by warm notes of ginger and cardamom. It works well any time you want a spiced pick-me-up—morning, mid-afternoon, or paired with breakfast and savory snacks. Milk and sweetener are optional to tailor richness and sweetness.

• Flavor profile: malty Assam backbone with peppery ginger and floral cardamom.
• Best served: hot with milk and sugar or brewed strong for iced chai.
• Brewing window: 3–4 minutes for balanced strength; longer for a stronger brew.

How do I brew Kolkata Chai Signature Chai for the best cup?

Brewing is straightforward: steep one tea bag per cup in near-boiling water for 3–4 minutes. For a richer chai, add warmed milk and a sweetener of your choice after steeping; for iced chai, double-brew and pour over ice.

• Standard brew: 1 bag per 8–10 oz near-boiling water, 3–4 minutes.
• Milk chai: steep, then add warmed milk and sweetener to taste.
• Iced version: steep 2 bags per 8 oz, cool, then serve over ice.

What makes these tea bags eco-friendly and suitable for vegans?

The bags are made from plant-based, compostable material and contain no microplastics, so they break down more readily in compost systems compared with conventional synthetic tea bags. The blend has no animal-derived ingredients and contains only whole natural spices and organic Assam tea.

• Tea bags: plant-based, compostable, microplastic-free.
• Ingredients: organic Assam and natural spices; no animal products.
• Packaging: designed to reduce synthetic plastics where possible.

How does single-origin Assam affect quality and flavor?

Single-origin sourcing means the black tea comes from one estate in India, which helps preserve a consistent malty character and predictable brewing results. That focused sourcing also makes it easier to trace the tea back to its growing region for quality checks and flavor consistency.

• Consistency: one-estate leaves produce a stable, recognizable flavor profile.
• Traceability: origin information tied to a single tea estate in India.
• Flavor reliability: consistent malty, full-bodied Assam notes.

Who is this for? Kolkata Chai Signature Chai suits tea drinkers who enjoy classic Indian-style spiced black tea and want a convenient, ready-to-brew option that supports plant-based, compostable packaging. It's ideal for people who appreciate single-origin Assam flavor, those seeking a robust tea to add milk and sweetener to, and environmentally conscious shoppers looking to avoid synthetic tea-bag materials.
