How should I prepare my tea?

Take care not to over-steep your tea. Experiment with steeping times and adjust to your individual taste. It’s all about you, baby!
1. Black tea -- pour boiling water over your tea sachet. Steep for 3-5 minutes.
2. Green tea & herbal blends -- pour very hot water (just about to boil) over your tea sachet. Steep for approximately 3 minutes.

How much caffeine does my tea contain?

The caffeine content of most teas ranges from 15-60 milligrams per cup. By contrast, the caffeine content of coffee ranges from 80-175 milligrams per cup (and often much more than that!).

What are pyramid sachets?

Chai, Baby! teas come to you in clear, pyramid sachets. Though they look silky, they are actually made from food-grade nylon. The unique shape allows your tea leaves and other ingredients to fill and swell in water and to therefore reach their full taste potential. And you, baby, still keep the convenience of a tea bag!

Is tea healthy?

Absolutely, baby! As we learn more about the damage to the body caused by sugar and artificial sweeteners, not to mention excessive caffeine, tea is a wonderful choice. It contains no sugar, fat, or sodium and it has almost no calories. Tea also contains flavonoids, a type of antioxidant. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals in the body. And research continues to uncover a wide array of potential benefits, including cancer prevention and cardiac & bone health.

Where does tea come from?

All tea -- black, green, oolong and white -- comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. It is grown in over forty countries around the world, including India, Sri Lanka, china, Japan, Brazil and Kenya. Remember, herbal teas, often called “tisanes” or “infusions” do not come from the Camellia sinensis plant. Rather, they are made from fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, and/or bark.

What is specialty tea?

Specialty teas like Chai, Baby! (unlike many traditional supermarket brands) contain top quality, traditionally-grown, whole tea leaves, prepared and blended with true care and artistry. Thus, specialty teas produce a much more fragrant, fine and flavorful drink. Only the best for you, baby!

Do all teas taste the same?

Many factors influence the taste of tea, including climate, altitude, soil, as well as the care taken in processing and brewing the tea. Enjoy all the variations, and taste with love and abandon!

How can tea drinking improve my life?

Baby, the tea drinking experience is all about YOU. You decide when, where and what flavor to drink. You demand a portion of your day to sit, sip and contemplate life. Watch those lovely tea leaves unfurl in the water. Imagine your own life unfurling with the same grace and elegance.

What does "Fair Trade Certified™" mean?

The "Fair Trade Certified™" label on your tea means that the entire tea supply chain – from garden to market -- has undergone inspection and certification to ensure that certain standards of quality and social responsibility have been met. The Fair Trade label guarantees that tea workers receive a fair wage, decent working conditions, as well as additional revenue for their communities that they decide how to spend. For example, workers have spent such revenue on community vaccinations, continuing education and re-forestation programs.

So, when you purchase Fair Trade tea, you are helping farmers and their communities! For more information, go to www.FairTradeCertified.org.

What does "100% organic" mean?

"100% organic" means that a product contains 100% organically produced ingredients. Organically produced food is grown, handled and processed under guidelines that prevent contamination and deterioration. Specifically, the product is grown, handled and processed without the use of pesticides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, genetic engineering, antibiotics, growth hormones or irradiation.
