LCurator note · Teapigs
The proper caffeinated chai of the range, where the Good Earth and Dragonfly ones are caffeine-free rooibos: this is whole-leaf Assam black carrying the spice, so it has real malty body and brews into a substantial milky masala latte rather than a thin herbal one. Cinnamon leads with a warm peppery edge, a soft vanilla note rounding the heat. Whole leaf in a pyramid gives it more depth than crushed chai-bag dust. Contains caffeine, so this is the morning chai; reach for the rooibos versions when you want it at night.

About this tea
Teapigs Chai, in brief.
Teapigs Chai is the classic Indian-style chai from Teapigs, the Brentford B Corp brand, built on Assam black tea with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and a touch of black pepper in the brand's signature whole-leaf tea-temple format, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the premium chai alternative to the standard Twinings or Tetley chai latte boxes.
The Assam black tea provides the structural backbone, giving the cup its deep amber colour and the malty body that lets the chai spices sit on top properly, while the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves do the heavy lifting on top, with the black pepper helping the warmth carry through. The tea-temple format gives the leaf and spices more room than the cheap square-bag chai alternatives.
A fifteen-bag Teapigs household pack at a premium price for the B Corp tea-temple tier, the proper masala chai cup that ports cleanly to a chai-latte service with hot milk and a teaspoon of honey.
