Stout Golden Moon Tea http://www.GoldenMoonTea.com If youve yet to experience rich, decadent chai, get ready for a real treat. Chai (rhymes with 'pie') is actually the word for tea in many parts of the world. Chai is a spiced mild tea that originated in India. Its one of the most popular drinks in much of the Middle East. Indians have been drinking chai for over 5000 years, and they drink it hot or cold. Legend has it that chai was invented by a king in the courts of India and Siam. It is told that he protected the recipe tightly, guarding it as a treasure. Chai was used as part of a Hindu natural healing system called ayurveda. Ayurveda used spices, herbs and sweeteners in precise combinations to cure ailments. Chai is made with rich black tea, milk, sweetener and spices. The spices vary, but the most common are cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom and peppercorns. It is essential that a good chai recipe contain both sweet and savory spices, and that they be ground together before adding them to the tea. It is also essential that chai contain some sort of sweetener, as this helps to bring out the flavors of the spices. In traditional Indian chai, the sweetener is often honey. Though chai has been around for centuries, its only recently caught on in the Western world. But today, many coffee shops and tea and coffee purveyors offer this delicious, exotic drink. Chai is part of the recent flavored tea bandwagon that has caught on with a furor in the US. And, market researchers predict that the popularity of chai and other flavored teas is only going to increase. So, you can expect to see more and more chai in retail stores and coffee shops. As its popularity increases, more and more people will want to make chai at home, too. To do so, its best to purchase a tea blended especially for chai. Then, all you do is brew, and add milk and sweetener. Some of the very best chai teas around come from Quality tea suppliers. Kashmiri Chai is based on traditional Indian recipes and tastes very much like a chai you would get on a visit to the teas country of origin. To make Kashmiri chai, the best suppliers blend both green and black tea leaves with cloves, spice oil, cinnamon and cardamom for an authentic Indian taste. Using green tea along with black tea grown high up in the Himalayan Mountains of northern India makes this version of chai slightly lighter than some other varieties. Cardamom provides an herbal taste and the remaining spices blend to give the drink that exotic and warming flavor that is uniquely sweet and spicy at the same time. Simply add milk or cream and some honey for a bit of sweetness. When you choose Kashmiri chai from a quality supplier you are assured that youre buying the best chai available. The best suppliers pride them self on being one of the most reputable tea purveyors in the industry. Theyve developed this reputation for three simple reasons: * They use only the very best teas - A quality supplier works only with the worlds best tea gardens, from whom the purchase the best teas they have to offer. They purchase only the best loose teas of each variety and then blend them to create unique flavors. Many tea producers use lower quality tea when creating a blend, like chai, believing that they can cover up the inferior tea with flavoring. But, what theyre really doing is creating an artificial tasting beverage. * They use only the best flavorings - When a quality supplier makes a blended or flavored tea, such as with Kashmiri Chai, they take great care in the spices and flavorings they use. All of the ingredients Golden Moon chooses are of the highest quality, just like their teas. With high quality ingredients, you can create a blend that is just the right mixture of tea and flavors. And, most quality suppliers have expert tea makers; they have the experience and skill to put together the right balance every time. * They offer a money back guarantee -Many quality suppliers put s their money where their mouth is. When you purchase tea off a quality website, youre not given the opportunity to try before you buy. But, a quality company guarantees that youll like their teas; if you dont simply return it for a full refund. Choosing tea is really about choosing a tea company. And, if youre new to chai, you should choose one that will give you an authentic and satisfying experience. Kashmiri Chai, with its unique blend of green and white tea leaves, grown in the Himalayas, combined with the rich and exotic spices is sure to please. The flavors are exotic and rich, but refreshing at the same time. Theres no doubt that youll become a chai convert once you taste this ancient treat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Stout is Chairman of the Golden Moon Tea Company.
