Description
Blender’s Notes Yogi Chai:
What is Chai? The name “chai” is actually the Hindi word for “tea”, which was derived from “cha”, the Chinese word for “tea”. In this case, the Hindi term chai means a mix of spices steeped into a tea-like beverage. Chai (pronounced as a single syllable and rhymes with ‘pie’) is the word for tea in many parts of the world. It is a centuries-old beverage which has played an important role in many cultures.
This version of chai contains a wonderful combination of traditional premium high-quality teas from Sri Lankan – Ceylon Black, Chinese – Keemun Black, African Black and an India – Assam Black blended to perfection. With that we added only Five more ingredients to ensure that we were adding the proper spice to help touch your Doshas. In Aryurvedic medicine – each person is comprised of three Doshas – Kapha, Pitta or Vata – and this chai blend will stimulate these three areas.
In this blend of Black Tea we simply combined together simple spices of Peppercorns, Cloves, Cardamon, Cinnamon and Ginger. As you can see below…how these will effect the Doshas of your being. This combination of spices can be steeped all day giving you a flavorful and full bodied cup of chai. We recommend you go for 30 minutes minimu. Plus it tastes great with milk and sweetener. Enjoy.

The Perfect Cup of Chai for Your Dosha
Chai for Vata
Ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon are particularly balancing to vata because they possess a combination of sweet and spicy tastes. Clove and black peppercorn are fine for vata, but as they are both quite pungent (meaning hot and/or purifying), it is best not to overdo these spices. Vata types may want to use the lesser amounts of these spices. For vata, you may also want to use a little less black tea, as vata types tend to have fragile and easily stimulated nervous systems. For a very sensitive vata, they could even forgo the tea entirely and turn this into a sweet, spiced milk.
Chai for Pitta
Chai is overall warming in nature, which may aggravate pitta. However, the cool, sweet nature of the milk does help reduce the heat of the tea and spices. Also, since maple syrup is a little cooler than honey, pitta types may want to sweeten with maple syrup. Other ways to make a perfect cup of chai for pitta dosha are to decrease the cloves and black peppercorns and to add a teaspoon of fennel seeds. Fennel is cool, sweet, and pacifying to pitta dosha. Pittas can also add a splash of rosewater in their mug to finish, or a pinch of saffron to be really fancy. These ingredients have a very calming, cooling effect on pitta dosha.
Chai for Kapha
Unlike vata and pitta, kaphas thrive with increased heat and stimulation. Kapha’s cool, heavy, slow nature benefits from hot spices. Kapha types can use the maximum amount of all the spices in this recipe and would be fine to use the full 3 tablespoons of black tea. Kapha would also do well to use a little less milk and honey, as those ingredients are both sweet, and thus increase kapha dosha. Milk, in particular, is a very kapha-increasing food. Almond milk would be a better choice, particularly for someone with a very strong kapha constitution or someone experiencing a head cold with excess mucus.

Rooibos is a very unique type of tea…and it actually isn’t a part of the Camellia Sinensis plant at all. Rooibos comes from a shrub Aspalathus linearis that is a part of the legume family (e.g. peas, beans and peanuts) and grows to about four feet high and looks like a sagebrush. Since the 1700’s, Rooibos has been grown primarily from the mountainous Cederberg region of South Africa’s Western Cape. This tea will have slightly red color and will have a slightly sweet taste.
Most of the harvest for Rooibos is done during the Summer months. The two types of Rooibos are Green and Red. The Green Rooibos is simply a plucked leaf that is dried and packaged. This has a more mild taste and a beautiful green color. The most popular is Red Rooibos (its namesake) and is plucked, fermented and oxidized giving it its rich red color. This version is a very creamy and sweeter taste. However, both versions of Rooibos have their own set of antioxidants and offer many health benefits.
Pu erh is also very forgiving when steeping, you can steep the leaves with boiling water for 10 minutes or several hours because it will not get bitter. The flavor of Rooibos will get richer and creamier with longer steep times.
