I love the Variety pack in all its delight
There is no question about the fact that I love chai. It is a love that started and has deepened since last fall when I first started drinking chai on a regular basis. So with that love comes experimenting with different flavors. If there is one company that is my go to for the variety of chai they offer, it is Herbs & Kettles.
Saffron Chai is a blend of loose black tea, single-origin Kashmiri Saffron, and loose chai spices. It’s rich and very fragrant, but not overwhelming. It has a pleasant depth to it. The sweetness of the saffron is apparent. But blended with the spicy aromatic nature of the cardamom, it transcends to a “cup of yum” as Herbs & Kettles so charmingly describes it.
Saffron has a multitude of health benefits including being a potent antioxidant for those mood boosting enhancers and anti-inflammatory properties. Saffron Chai is also known as Kesar Chai in Hindi.
It steeps to a rich cognac color and upon my first sip I was in love with this blend. The floral nature with hints of spiciness from the chai spices dances on the tongue so wonderfully producing a nice lingering aftertaste. The earthiness from the cinnamon also gives it a depth unlike most other blends.
I would say this has definitely become one of my favorite chai blends from Herbs & Kettles. And another one of their blends I will be ordering in the full size tin.
If you haven’t experienced Herbs & Kettles for yourself, they are a tea purveyor that comes highly recommended.
Very good, you can taste the saffron. I love unusual chai teas
Yet another stellar blend of tea and spices. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of saffron strands present in the tea. Although like their other chais, this too has lesser quantity than you'd expect, the flavor and quality very much make up for the quantity.
Tea - the tea itself is very smooth, rich, creamy. If you've had other chai you'll immediately notice the difference in texture, flavor, fragrance, everything. Believe me you, it's wonderful. I want to say it's full-bodied, but I'm not entirely sure that's the right description for what I'm feeling.
Spices - the very delicate and sensitive flavors of saffron manage to survive the heat and process of making the chai itself. I absolutely LOVE the fragrance of the tea upon opening the pack. The flavor blend of the chai, although fantastic in terms of quality and balance, is not my favorite. But personal preference aside, the blend itself and quality of the spices is meets the high standards you'll come to expect of H&K.
Overall, the Saffron Chai is definitely one you should try. I would recommend it.
not the only tea I have of theirs that I love, but an absolute favorite. it smells incredible and tastes divine, such high quality ingredients!!
Saffron green tea is an excellent antioxidant, relieves acute stress and is a mood enhancer. If you are looking for a delicious blend, try out Kashmiri Kahwa which is a beautiful tea with green tea, saffron, rose petals, almonds and heartwarming spices.
Yes, saffron is considered the most expensive spice in the world. The high price is because of its scarcity and the labor intensive process required to manually harvest saffron as it is derived from the stigmas of the saffron flower- Crocus sativus. Saffron is also grown in a handful of countries like India, Iran, Afghanistan, Greece, Morocco and Italy. At Herbs & Kettles we use natural and authentic saffron and not artificial flavoring so that you can not only savor its flavor but also enjoy its health benefits.
Our saffron chai has moderate caffeine, while our Kashimiri Kahwa has low caffeine.
