Moon Unit® Tea
A Jar of Chai Spices
My obsessive love of tea began when I was very small and was given baby bottles full of black tea with plenty of milk and sugar.
My exposure to in-house tea blends occurred when a yoga teacher I loved served her special chai to her students after a class in her lovely home. She gifted all of us with a small jar of the simple ingredients so we could make the soothing and uplifting concoction ourselves back home.
Cinnamon sticks, a piece of ginger, some cardamom pods, black peppercorns and some loose black tea in a clear vessel was a lightbulb moment and the nudge I needed to spark my imagination. I began tasting every chai I could get my hands on, then I’d play and experiment with ingredients and ratios to satisfy my evolving palate.
(Turns out I am an easy cinnamon, heavy cardamom, extra nutmeg, star anise, Assam, and milk on the stovetop kind of person!)
