Kusmi Tea
Kusmi's chai: an organic black tea generously blended with the warming spices of the old Tea Road — cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, aniseed and clove, with a hint of bay. Heady and aromatic, it's built for a spiced cup on its own or as the base of a chai latte.
Warm, spicy and aromatic, with cardamom and cinnamon to the fore, sweet ginger and aniseed, and a clove-and-bay finish over a rounded black-tea base.
Steep 3–5 minutes at ~90°C; froth with hot milk and a touch of honey for a chai latte; serve with milk after a meal; pairs with spiced cakes and biscuits.
No major allergens in the listed ingredients.

Kusmi Tea
Kusmi Tea was founded in St. Petersburg in 1867 by Pavel Kousmichoff, who left his village at fourteen to apprentice with a tea trader and learned the art of blending so well that his master gave him a shop as a wedding gift. His teas became a favourite of the Russian tsars, growing to a chain of more than fifty tea houses before the family fled the 1917 Revolution and re-established the house on Avenue Niel in Paris, shortening the name to Kusmi. Taken over by brothers Sylvain and Claude Orebi in 2003, the maison turned firmly toward organic, achieving full organic certification and B Corp status, with every blend now imagined and made in its own workshops in Normandy.
