LCurator note · PG Tips

This is an everyday chai, not a dainty small batch one: cinnamon and ginger lead over the strong Kenyan and Rwandan PG Tips base, so it holds its own with milk and makes a quick, satisfying latte at home. What sets it above most supermarket chai is a real savoury undertone of bay leaf and black pepper, so it never tastes of sweet spice alone. 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.

About this tea

PG Tips Chai Special Blend, in brief.

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. PG Tips gives no per cup number on the current chai box, so we do not quote one. See our caffeine guide to see why the amount in a brewed mug can differ.

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.

Label notes

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up

PG Tips Chai Special Blend is for anyone who wants more aroma and spice from a mug than a standard black tea bag gives. Ordinary bags often brew thin or dusty; this chai leans on strong black tea and a generous mix of whole spices for a bold, natural flavour. The bags keep the easygoing PG Tips character but give it more punch, which suits a pot at home or a mug at your desk. For a proper British take on a spiced treat, this rich masala inspired chai pairs nicely with a creamy latte finish or as a refreshing iced summer cooler. On a lazy Sunday or in the middle of a hectic shift, it brews a lively, zesty mug in the steady PG Tips manner.

The Story Behind the PG Tips Brand

Arthur Brooke launched PG Tips under the Brooke Bond family in nineteen thirty, and it has been a fixture of British kitchens ever since.

Quality Tips: The name refers to the use of only the top two leaves and the bud (the Tips) for a superior brew.
Digestion Heritage: The tea first went on sale as Pre Gestee, and the name was later trimmed to PG.
Global Innovation: Known for pioneering pyramid bags in nineteen ninety six and now transitioning to high tech square bags for sixty second brewing.

PG Tips Commitment To The Planet

PG Tips counts itself among the leaders in sustainable tea, and says it wants every part of this chai pack to treat the environment well.

Packaging: Carton, foil and used bags could each be recycled differently; follow the box and your council.

Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Stovetop (traditional)Pour 250ml of whole milk and 50ml of water into a small pan; add 2 tea bags 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 brewSteep 2 tea bags in 50ml of just-boiled water for 5 minutes, remove the bags, then top with 150ml of steamed milk or hot dairy alternative.

Iced chaiBrew strong with 100ml of hot water, cool, pour over ice, top with 200ml of cold milk and a tablespoon of maple syrup.

Dirty chaiPour a shot of espresso into the bottom of a mug, then top with hot milky chai. Sweeten with brown sugar if needed.

SweetenerBrown sugar, honey or maple syrup all work; avoid white sugar, it flattens the spice profile.

Best withSpiced biscuits (speculoos, gingerbread), buttered crumpets, or after a curry as a digestif.

Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

Ingredients and dietary suitabilitySpice blends get reformulated now and then, so check the allergy panel on the current UK box before ordering.

Shelf LifeSafe to drink after its printed best before date, the chai simply loses aroma as time goes on; the date is on the box. An airtight caddy, a cool dry shelf and no direct sunlight will keep these bags at their best.

Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
