    I have been a long time fan of the caffeine free version of chai (using roobios) but wanted an altnerative with a black tea base. This formula is delicious. I have bought chai from other companies, but Svastha Ayureveda’s formula is the perfect balance of spice – strong but not imbalanced. Highly recommend!
