Republic Chai® Full-Leaf Tea
Traveler's Tea - Rich imperial spices are combined with Northern Indian tea leaves to create a hearty, flavorful cup. Deliciously full-bodied when prepared traditionally (simmered with water, milk & honey).
Black Tea has less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee. More about caffeine.
Steeping black tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil. Then pour water over tea and steep for 3-5 minutes if using a tea bag or full-leaf.
Cinnamon, Assam and Darjeeling black tea, orange peel, ginger, coriander, cardamom seed, star anise, cloves and black pepper

a great Chai
One of the best chai teas i have had. it has an excellent balance of spices...not too peppery
Love it !
I actually ordered this by accident. I tried it and loved it. I steep it, then add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder. The black pepper sets of the turmeric both in flavor and in health benefits.
Interesting taste of the Chai Tea
Have tried the Chai Tea Latte (company name omitted) that fell interested in this tea with a little spicy - just didn't like it too sweet. So I bought this Chai-full leaf for brewing without adding any milk or sugar and it still tasted good.
Smells and tastes great!
High quality, not dusty, and not full of pieces you can't identify. I would caution to stick with the proper steeping time as it has a licorice taste when you let it steep too long.
Peppery
I have to agree with other people that pepper is the strongest note in this tea blend. I made it for the first time yesterday and noted the cup tasted a little weak. So for my next cup, I brewed the tea longer - it was stronger tasting, but so was the taste of pepper! I like a nice kick to a cup of chai tea but I won't be reordering this blend.
