1.05.2008 : Tea of the Month for January – Green Tea Chai
Coffee Bean Intl's Tea-of-the-Month is our
aromatic and uplifting Xanadu®
Green Tea Chai. A unique blend of
green teas, highlighted with both sweet and savory
spices and diamond-like crystals of sugar, Xanadu
Green Tea Chai breaks the
traditional rule of exclusively utilizing black
teas in chai blends. The results are nothing less
then delicious, with consumers appreciating the
rich flavor and body – as well as the proven
health benefits – that green tea adds to
their favorite chai beverage.
Xanadu Green Tea Chai is visually beautiful, presenting an appearance that is rich with texture and color. Contrasted against the dark green tea leaves are sweet spices, including chunks of cinnamon bark, cracked allspice, and cardamom. To create a balance between sweetness and spiciness – a traditional attribute of southern Indian cuisine – Xanadu Green Tea Chai is accented with a small amount of fragrant broken Indonesian cloves, mixed with coarsely ground Black India Pepper, and brightened with a scattering of small pieces of crystalline sugar.
A word with many meanings, chai – used to describe either the blend of tea and spices, or the hot beverage created from such a blend – is traditionally enjoyed by combining equal parts of milk and brewed chai tea, steamed together at the espresso machine. Easy to prepare, and profitable to sell, authentic Xanadu Green Tea Chai will give your customers an exotic trip to India, without leaving your store.
