A proper everyday chai rather than a delicate artisan one: cinnamon and ginger lead, on the strong Kenyan-and-Rwandan PG Tips base, so it stands up to milk and makes a quick, satisfying latte at home. The detail that lifts it above most supermarket chai is a genuine savoury undertone from bay leaf and black pepper, which keeps it from being just sweet spice. Cardamom is subtle here, so if you want it cardamom-forward this is not that, but as an accessible, milky, warming cup it punches above its price.
PG Tips Chai Special Blend, 70 Tea Bags 175g is a black- or green-tea blend; the current ingredient panel confirms tea leaf in the recipe.
Caffeine: This blend contains black or green tea leaf and therefore contains caffeine. The current pack does not publish a per-cup figure, so none is claimed here. See our caffeine guide for the factors that make brewed amounts vary.
Preparation: drop one bag into a 250ml mug, top with just-off-the-boil water and steep three to four minutes. It drinks well black, but it is at its best with milk and an optional spoon of honey for a proper British chai latte.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of PG Tips Chai Special Blend, 70 Tea Bags 175g
- Stovetop (traditional): Pour 250ml of whole milk and 50ml of water into a small pan; add 1 tablespoon of chai (or 1 sachet) plus a cracked cardamom pod, warm over a low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until shivering at the edges. Strain into a small cup.
- Mug brew: Stir 1 tablespoon (or 1 sachet) of chai into 50ml of hot water until dissolved, top with 150ml of steamed milk or hot dairy alternative.
- Iced chai: Brew strong with 100ml of hot water, cool, pour over ice, top with 200ml of cold milk and a tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Dirty chai: Pour a shot of espresso into the bottom of a mug, then top with hot milky chai. Sweeten with brown sugar if needed.
- Sweetener: Brown sugar, honey or maple syrup all work; avoid white sugar, it flattens the spice profile.
