Red Seal Mi-Chai Tea 25 Bags

Red Seal Mi-Chai Tea 25 Bags brings black tea together with cinnamon, cardamom and cloves for a warming, aromatic brew. Ginger, nutmeg and black pepper add depth to the spice blend. Each box contains 25 tea bags, making it easy to prepare one cup at a time without measuring loose tea or building a chai blend from separate spices. It suits people who enjoy a tea flavour beneath the warming spice notes.

Enjoy it black to keep the tea and spice character at the centre of the cup, or add your preferred milk for a softer finish. Red Seal also suggests honey if you like a sweeter brew. Start with the tea on its own, then choose the milk and sweetness that suit your taste. There is no need to prepare a whole pot when you want just one cup.

To brew, place one tea bag in a cup, pour over boiling water and steep for three to five minutes. This gives the black tea and spices time to develop before you remove the bag and add any milk or honey. Keep that brewing window in mind rather than assuming the same timing as every other tea in your cupboard. The tea bag format also avoids the need for a loose-leaf strainer.

This blend contains caffeine from its black tea base. If caffeine is a deciding factor, choose it with that in mind rather than treating it as a herbal infusion. For a caffeine-free alternative with a different flavour, compare Red Seal Black Adder, a herbal blend with liquorice, fennel, peppermint and anise. Mi-Chai is the spiced black tea choice; Black Adder offers a liquorice and mint flavour.

Red Seal identifies Mi-Chai as 50% Rainforest Alliance Certified and uses plant-based, unbleached, plastic-free tea bags. The 25-bag box gives you a spiced tea to keep alongside your other favourites at home or in the office. Store the carton closed in a cool, dry place so the bags stay protected between cups.
