Princess of Persia Black Tea

$7.00

BLACK TEA | MODERATE CAFFEINE | CARDAMOM TEA

Spiced tea usually means Indian chai. The Persian tradition took a different route. It's Ceylon black tea and cardamom seed, pods taken off, which is why the cardamom comes through this strongly. You smell it before you taste it. One complex spice, all the way through.

Sold in 1 oz quantities. Makes 6-10 cups of tea.

Ingredients

ceylon black tea, cardamom seed

From Our Laguna Beach Tea Shop

We made this one to show another side of chai. Masala chai from India is the version our customers usually arrive with. The Persian tradition is its own thing, and our favorite part of blending this tea is watching somebody learn about it for the first time. There isn't one way to spice a cup. We like having both on the shelf.

If Princess of Persia has you exploring the chai family, Masala Chai Organic is the Indian original with its own completely different spice story, and Green Cha Chai is where to go if you want that same warming chai spirit somewhere lighter and caffeine free.

  • How to brew it hot

    Use 1 teaspoon per 8 oz. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes. A full boil gets the most out of the cardamom.

  • How to make iced tea

    Use 2 teaspoons per 8 oz. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes, then pour over a full glass of ice. Double strength keeps the ice from watering it down.

  • How to cold brew

    Use 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8 ounces of filtered water.
    Steep in your fridge for 8 to 12 hours.
    Strain out the leaves and enjoy!
    A long cold steep gives you a smoother cup.
