Artful blending of hand-picked black tea and exotic spices with just the right amount of vanilla is the secret to a Bigelow Tea masterpiece: Vanilla Chai Tea where the distinctively delicious flavor and heady aroma of Vanilla Chai can be enjoyed using the single-serving K-Cups, as well as our tea bags. This flavor is one of four varieties offered in the Bigelow Tea K-Cup line.
For the uninitiated, Bigelow Vanilla Chai Tea is a great choice when you crave a rich, soul-satisfying treat. It’s the ideal afternoon pick-me-up or dessert alternative to tame your sweet tooth in the evening. Chai itself is a beloved beverage in India, where it has a long and fascinating history. The milky tea beverage westerners refer to as chai is actually known as “masala chai” or “spiced tea” in India. Masala chai recipes abound in that country and vary by region, but commonly used spices include cardamom, cinnamon, peppercorn, nutmeg and cloves.
Milk and sweetener are essential ingredients in traditional masala chai to balance the spicy notes in the tea. Adding a touch of both to Bigelow’s Vanilla Chai Tea brings out the vanilla for a superb flavor sensation. Sweet and spicy all at the same time! However you prefer it – brewed from a tea bag or a K-Cup – Bigelow Vanilla Chai Tea is sure to add spice to your life! As @AshlyFahlstrom tweeted, it is “The. Best.”
