What are the benefits of Pumpkin Spice Chai?

Our Pumpkin Spice Chai starts with our favorite black tea, Assam. Assam is one of the most popular and palatable teas. It is most often used in “breakfast” teas, the most common one being an Irish Breakfast Tea because the flavor is maltier and stronger. Assam tea is grown on the lowlands of Assam, unlike Darjeeling tea which is grown in the highlands. 

It is a common tea used in blends to give them a stronger flavor profile and more depth. It can have flavor range from brisk to smokey, sometimes even having spicy and sweet notes. It’s also considered to be a wonderful base for teas that need to hold a stronger aroma, just like our CBD Pumpkin Spice Chai.  Full of antioxidants, Assam is known for its rich and malty flavor.  Ginger, Nutmeg, Allspice, Ginger and Clove make up the spices in the tea. Elderflowers are high in vitamins and antioxidants. 

Assam tea is generally harvested, in a first flush and a second flush. It is first picked during early spring and the second is harvested later and the more prized tea where it is sweeter and more full bodied. The state of Assam is the largest tea growing region.
