Classic Chai starts with our blend of black teas, plus some deep notes of vanilla and cream. Cinnamon weaves in and out, present for sure, but quiet enough to be subtle. Ginger adds warmth and tongue-tingling depth. Finally, cardamom leaves an exotic accent as each sip lingers.

Keep it simple: spoon it up, brew, and enjoy a creamy, spicy cup of chai in minutes. We crafted this blend to taste perfect on its own, without cream or sweetener (although some folks swear by a dollop of honey and coconut milk). Or, to amp up the spice, pair this chai with a dash of our Lake Missoula House Chai Mix! Start with a solid foundation, and then make it your own.

With all things chai, we take our inspiration from India, where ubiquitous street vendors serve the beloved drink. Recipes vary, but never too much: black tea and spices, simple and hearty, good enough for everyday.

Love chai? Or curious to explore the roots of India's favorite drink? Give our Classic Chai a sip.

A made in Montana tea.

Brian G. ★★★★★

The ginger’s warmth really lingers on my tongue after each sip, which I didn’t expect from a bagged chai. The vanilla and cream keep it smooth without turning into a dessert—I’ve been brewing it black every morning and it still feels rich.

Thomas N. ★★★★★

Cinnamon’s usually the loudest note in chai for me, but here it hangs back just enough to let the black tea and ginger carry the cup. Brewed a pot for a rainy afternoon and it warmed me right down to my fingers.

Avery ★★★★★

The ginger is the star for me—that tongue-warming kick makes the vanilla and cream taste even smoother. I’ve been brewing it every afternoon and the cinnamon stays subtle enough that it never gets cloying.
