with and without
caffeine.
The spices in chai have antioxidant properties, which can help combat oxidative stress which may interfere with wound healing, DNA repair, and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Traditional chai does contain caffeine from black tea. The caffeine in this blend is about 20 mg of caffeine per 8 ounces. We do offer caffeine free chai in our apothecary and retail locations. The ingredients are the same expect black tea is omitted from the caffeine free recipe.
Cinnamon: is an antioxidant powerhouse. Did you know cinnamon has been shown in research to support the management of healthy cholesterol levels? Warming in nature cinnamon naturally promotes circulation.
Ginger: supports the digestive system and immune system. High in vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. The vitamins, minerals, and medicinal compounds in ginger may support the building blocks of DNA repair.
Clove: Many of their health benefits are attributed to their key active compound, eugenol, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Clove may improve the function of insulin producing cells and support healthy blood sugar. Clove supports digestion by supporting the liver with micro minerals.
Star Anise: is naturally abundant in antioxidants. These antioxidants and medicinal constituents have been shown to produce antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
Nutmeg: is a potent warming spice. We often associate pumpkin bread, or pumpkin pie with this spice. Nutmeg is used for a wide variety of healthy benefits, but did you know it is used for sleep? Tha'ts right, in India nutmeg is freshly ground into gently warmed milk, sweetened lightly with honey, and consumed about an hour before bed.
Green cardamom: is used in baking to enhance the flavor of our favorite fall treats such as pumpkin bread. Did you know cardamom supports respiratory health? In herbalism cardamom is considered a natural expectorant, meaning it may help clear congestion, soothe coughs. If the cough is thick, wet, and cool try warming a cup of chai up and allowing the volatile oils to help break up congestion.
digestive support
chai-gest.
Sarsaparilla: has been used for centuries to support digestion or enhance the flavor of food and beverages. Sarsaparilla promotes digestion by supporting the liver. We call this plant "blood purifying" meaning it works with the liver and kidney to help eliminate built up toxins in the blood.
Dandelion root: high in vitamins A,B,C,K, and B. Calcium, magnesium, and potassium just to name a few. Think of the liver as the singer of a band. Now think of dandelions vitamins and minerals as the "band". These vitamins and minerals support the liver by feeding it the correct nutrients it needs in order to function properly. Just like the band feeds the singer the right sound frequencies to create the harmonic tune we know and love as song.
