Chaï Chandernagor Tin, 100g

Chai named for a French trading post in India.

Mariage Frères welcomes cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and pepper into black tea, for a warming, piquant brew that takes milk or goes without. One hundred grams of loose leaf in the house's square tin, blended in Paris.

For the cook who keeps whole spices on the shelf, and the friend who drinks chai all winter.
