Product Description

Stash Double Spice Chai Tea puts double the amount of clove, cinnamon, and cardamom into a blend of premium black teas and fragrant spices. Stash also adds coriander and whole cardamom for a spicier and even more flavorful drink. Add a splash of milk and sugar for a rich, authentic taste experience. This tea is made from 100 percent natural ingredients.

True teas are made from the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, the tea plant, which was first cultivated in China and found growing wild in India. Chinese monks and European traders introduced it to Japan, Sri Lanka and other countries. Today, there are more than 3,000 varieties of tea, each having its own distinct character and named for the district where it is grown. Since 1972, Stash has been committed to providing premium quality teas and an unsurpassed tea drinking experience. Stash begins with simply excellent tea leaves from the world's premier tea gardens and all natural botanical ingredients gathered from around the world. Meticulous blending and tasting of every tea ensures you will enjoy full flavor in every cup.

About the Brand
The Stash Tea Company is headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. Founded in 1972, Stash Tea originally operated out of an old Portland Victorian style house, supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1975, the company broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants and through a mail-order catalog to consumers. Today, Stash Tea is enjoying steady growth and has become one of the largest specialty tea companies in the United States, with products available through foodservice, grocery stores, tea and coffee shops, club stores, mass merchandisers, natural foods stores, mail order, and the Internet. Stash Tea is also available in Canada and in several foreign countries.

The company derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ship. The ship's captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use. This supply was his "stash," stowed carefully as his "private reserve." Today, the term still is used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness.

Customer Reviews

Exotic and refreshing!
The Stash Tea Company was founded in 1972, in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, and was originally operated out of a Victorian-style house. But, right from the beginning the company focused on making only premium teas. That commitment to quality has propelled Stash Tea to the position of one of America's largest tea companies.

Among Stash Tea's wonderful infusions is Chai Spice Black Tea. "Chai" comes from the Hindi word for tea, but in the West it is interpreted as Masala Chai, Indian spiced tea. Well, in fact this tea is a wonderful version of Indian spiced tea, based on a mix of Indian black teas, spiced with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves.

Now, as you might expect from that description, this is a spicy tea. When I first opened the package, the smell of cinnamon wafted up to me and I thought, "Oh no, cinnamon tea?" Well, the flavor is much more complex than that - spicy, but not in an overpowering way. In fact the flavor is exotic and refreshing, and a real joy to drink.

Now, some people prefer it iced (and it is delicious iced), but I think that I prefer it hot. There's nothing better on a cold evening than then smell and taste of Chai Spice Black Tea filling your senses. (By the way, if you find this tea a little overpowering, just add a little milk to smooth it out.)

I highly recommend this great tea!

Double-spice is Double nice!
This tea is delightfully spiced! I brew it strong; mix it with milk and sweetner and it is almost like having a candy treat without the calories of a prepared spiced chai powder! Haven't missed drinking this tea each morning for two years. It goes everywhere with me. It has the most flavor of any of the spiced chai's I have tried.

most flavorful chai i've found
Being a fan of the creamy, spicy chai teas one can get in the coffeeshops, I've tried to recreate them at home with disappointing results -- until now. I've probably purchased ten or twelve different brands of Chai looking for the right one. I finally found it with this Stash Premium Double Spice. It is exceptionally flavorful, and really able to hold the strong flavor. The aroma is incredible. Although it has cinnamon, it doesn't strike me as particularly cinnamony -- I think the cardamom flavor may come through a little more strongly. Nor is it particularly spicy -- I can't handle spicy foods and I don't have a problem with this. This tea is a little heartier than most -- I have taken to drinking it instead of coffee in the morning.

I haven't been quite as impressed with the other Stash teas I've tried (they're okay, but nothing special) and generally prefer Mighty Leaf or Tazo -- but this tea quickly jumped to the top of my favorites list -- I'll be ordering much more.
