Numi Organic Golden Chai Tea Bags — 100 High-Caffeine Spiced Assam Blend, Compostable

Numi Organic Golden Chai is a bold, high-caffeine chai blend of hand-plucked Assam black tea with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and anise, packaged in biodegradable, plastic-free tea bags.

Enjoy a robust, spiced chai that’s strong enough to brew with milk or drink straight for an energetic, aromatic cup. Numi sources its Assam from the organic, Fair Trade Tonganagaon estate in India, selecting larger leaf grades that release flavor gradually for a rounder, less astringent brew. The tea bags are made from manila hemp fiber and sealed without plastic, and the outer wrappers are plant-based and commercially compostable.

How does Golden Chai deliver a fuller, smoother cup?

This blend uses larger, hand-plucked Assam leaves rather than machine-processed fannings and dust. Larger leaves steep more slowly, producing a balanced, fuller-bodied liquor with fewer tannic bite notes.

• Hand-plucked leaf grades for even extraction
• Assam base provides a malty backbone that supports spices
• Spices (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, anise) added to create a layered flavor

Can I make a chai latte with these tea bags?

Yes — Golden Chai is formulated to stand up to milk, making it ideal for traditional chai lattes or modern milk-based recipes. Brew a strong infusion and combine with warmed milk or a dairy-free alternative for a creamy, spiced drink.

• Steep 4–5 minutes in boiling water for a bold base
• Mix with steamed milk to create authentic chai textures
• Works with cow’s milk, oat, almond, or other plant milks

What sustainability and sourcing practices does Numi use?

Numi emphasizes traceable sourcing and low-impact packaging. The Assam tea comes from Tonganagaon, an organic Fair Trade estate, and proceeds support community water and sanitation projects. Tea bags are crafted from Abacá (manila hemp) and sealed without polypropylene; wrappers are plant-based and compostable.

• Fair Trade Certified Assam from Tonganagaon estate
• BPI Certified Biodegradable tea bags made from manila hemp fiber
• Outer wrappers are FSC paper and non-GMO sugarcane, commercially compostable

How strong is the caffeine and how should I brew it?

Golden Chai is labeled high-caffeine due to its robust Assam base, making it suitable for morning or anytime you want a dependable boost. For best results, steep one bag in freshly boiling water for 4–5 minutes; extend steeping a bit for an even bolder cup.

• High-caffeine: robust black tea base for energy
• Recommended steeping: 4–5 minutes in boiling water
• Adjust time for personal strength preferences

Who is this for? Numi Organic Golden Chai is designed for tea drinkers who prefer a strong, spiced black tea that pairs well with milk, value traceable Fair Trade sourcing, and want packaging that avoids added plastics. It’s a good fit for morning routines, café-style chai at home, or anyone seeking an ethically sourced, full-flavored chai experience without compromise on sustainability.
