We’re happy to offer a green tea version of our popular Indian Spice Chai Tea. Hara in Hindi means green, so this is a green tea with cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander and ginger. Many enjoy this blend with milk.
We have offered our version of the traditional Indian Chai: Indian Spice for some time. However, people wanted it with a green tea base, so we re-thought the blend and made it a bit spicier than than the Indian Spice. People do enjoy this full-throated version. Most people do add some milk and sugar or honey.
Since 1983 Harney & Sons has been the source for fine teas. We travel the globe to find the best teas and accept only the exceptional. We put our years of experience to work to bring you the best Single-Estate teas, and blends beyond compare.
I had been wanting to try this for a very long time and finally did so today!
I loved that this chai didn’t list black peppercorns in the ingredients. I just don’t love them in chai unless there are just a few to add a tiny tiny bit of warmth.
This smelled heavenly but I was shocked that it looked mostly like powder. Maybe I should have stirred the tin up and looked for bigger leaves? But in spite of the amazing aroma, the taste was a bit bland to me. To be fair, I had already had a couple of different Dammann Freres teas first and would have more after. I was so disappointed that I decided to add milk and sugar, because chai typically has both. It really didn’t improve it much. I am sad it wasn’t something to love, and glad I didn’t give in and order myself a tin when I was tempted to do so.
I like green tea and I like chai spices, so this piqued my curiosity! The spices are strong and the green tea flavor is subtle, so I mostly tasted the spices. The first cup I had was quite good, and I had it without sugar or cream. I resteeped the leaves, this time adding rock sugar and some half-and-half. The spices remained strong after the second steep and the tea had a classic “masala chai” flavor, but the green tea taste was barely detectable. In the future, I’ll probably only steep this once. I’m looking for a good masala chai to get regularly, and of the two I’ve had recently (small sample, I’ll admit), this one is in first place.
