leafberri Purple Chai Kenyan Loose Leaf Tea
$24.99
Chai tea gets a vibrant twist in leafberri's Purple Chai, a Kenyan loose leaf blend that replaces the usual black tea base with purple tea and pairs it with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove and black pepper. The result is a naturally sweeter, smoother cup that keeps the bold spice character of a classic masala chai.
Why You'll Love This leafberri Chai
- A different kind of chai: Kenyan purple tea adds subtle fruity, lightly floral notes beneath the spices, a fresh change from black-tea chai.
- Balanced spice: Warm cinnamon, zesty ginger and fragrant cardamom lead, while clove and black pepper add depth and a gentle peppery finish.
- Naturally sweet-leaning: The purple tea base gives a rounded sweetness, so many cups need little or no added sugar.
- Latte-ready: The spices hold up well to milk, making this blend a natural fit for a homemade chai tea latte.
- Hot or iced: Brew it steaming in the morning or cold brew a batch for a chilled afternoon glass.
- Loose leaf control: Adjust the leaf and steep time to make each cup as mild or as bold as you like.
- A thoughtful gift: A distinctive pick for chai lovers who want something beyond the everyday spiced tea.
How to Make Chai Tea With This Blend
Hot: Use about 1 teaspoon of leaves per 8 oz of water at 195–212°F (90–100°C). Steep for 4–5 minutes, then strain.
Chai tea latte: Brew as above, then simmer the tea with your favorite dairy or plant-based milk and sweeten to taste.
Cold brew: Combine the leaves with cold water at the same ratio, cover and refrigerate for 8–12 hours. Strain and serve over ice, plain or with milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does leafberri Purple Chai Kenyan Loose Leaf Tea have caffeine?
Yes. Purple tea comes from the same plant as black and green tea (Camellia sinensis), so this chai contains caffeine. The spices are caffeine-free, but the tea base is not, making it a good choice for a morning or afternoon cup.
Can I make a chai tea latte with leafberri Purple Chai?
Absolutely. Brew a strong cup, then simmer it with steamed or heated milk. Dairy, oat and almond milk all work well. Add honey or another sweetener if you like.
How does leafberri Purple Chai taste compared with standard chai?
The purple tea base brings fruity, slightly floral notes and a smoother, less astringent body than chai made with black tea. The spices remain bold and aromatic.
