Dusty Masala Chai Tea Blend

(Coming soon - On its way!! Estimated to drop July 2026)
 
Dusty Masala Chai
Whole Spice Black Tea Blend
 
A chai built the way we like to drink it.
 
Dusty Chai starts with organic black tea and whole spices, milled in small batches for a bold cup with texture, warmth, and enough body to stand up to milk. Designed for steeping like tea, but equally at home prepared traditionally.
 
Expect notes of:
Warm cinnamon • ginger heat • bright spice • malted black tea
 
Our favorite preparation:
Steep → honey → frothed milk → finish with a touch of cayenne.
 
Available in:
5.3 oz (150 g)
 
Makes approximately 10–15 mugs depending on brew strength.
 
Preparation methods:
THE DUSTY METHOD
2–3 Tbsp (14–16 g) • 12 oz water • 205°F
Steep 7 minutes and strain.
Stir in honey.
Add a pinch of cayenne.
Finish with frothed soy milk.
Traditional Method
2–3 Tbsp (14–16 g)
8 oz water + 4 oz milk
Simmer 5–7 minutes • Strain • Sweeten
 
Traditional Method
Slow brewed. Richer body. Deeper spice.
Traditional chai draws more flavor from the tea and spices by simmering them directly with milk. The result is a fuller cup with softer texture, deeper spice notes, and a more classic chai experience.
 
How we make it:
Add 2–3 Tbsp (14–16 g) Dusty Chai to a small saucepan
Add 8 oz water and bring to a gentle simmer
Simmer 3–4 minutes to begin opening the tea and spices
Add 4 oz milk (soy milk works beautifully)
Continue simmering 2–3 minutes—avoid a hard boil
Remove from heat and let rest 1 minute
Strain into your mug
Stir in honey to taste
 
Optional: Add a small pinch of cayenne after sweetening and just before topping with extra frothed milk.
 
A few notes:
• Keep the simmer gentle—boiling can flatten spice and create bitterness
• Cover partially if aroma escapes too quickly
• Slightly longer extraction increases spice and body
• Honey after brewing preserves more floral sweetness
• Frothing a final splash of milk adds texture and lets the spice aromas linger
 
Expect a richer cup, deeper spice extraction, and a more traditional café-style finish.
