ABOUT OUR ORGANIC CHAI
Masala chai from India — bold & aromatic
At DieTees you'll find premium organic chai blends based on robust Indian Assam black tea with the classic chai spices. Popular choices are our Bio Chai Tee Gewürztee as the classic, the creamy Bio Chai Latte, the fruity Spiced Apple Chai with apple and cinnamon, and the sweet and spicy Sweet Chai Choco.
Chai simply means "tea" in Hindi — what's meant is the famous Indian spiced tea blend masala chai ("spiced tea"). Traditionally it is simmered on the stove with black tea as the base and a mix of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black pepper and star anise. The result is a bold, sweet, spicy and aromatic cup with a complex profile.
Loose-leaf chai delivers more aroma than tea bags, because whole pieces of spice release their essential oils better. At DieTees we use pure organic ingredients with no artificial flavourings, no sugar and no additives — you decide how sweet and creamy your chai turns out.

VARIETY OVERVIEW
What types of chai are there?
Chai can be broadly divided into four main categories — depending on the base tea and the flavouring style:
- Classic masala chai — black tea + traditional spice blend (cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, pepper). The original Indian style.
- Chai latte — composed specially for preparation with milk, often with an extra note of vanilla. Creamy and sweet in the glass.
- Fruit chai — the classic rounded out with apple, pear or berries — sweet, spicy and fruity all at once.
- Sweet chai — refined with chocolate, caramel or cocoa — dessert-like and especially rounded in taste.
Looking for caffeine-free chai alternatives? Take a look at our rooibos, which is often used as a chai base. For the original black tea base we recommend our black tea category — or try milder alternatives from green tea or herbal tea.
🍯 How to make masala chai — the classic way
Classic Indian method: slowly bring 1 tsp of chai per 200 ml of water plus 100 ml of milk (or oat/almond milk) to the boil in a pot, simmer for 3–5 minutes, then pour through a sieve. Sweeten with honey or cane sugar, or enjoy it plain.
Quick method: boiling water, steep for 5 minutes, add milk and sweetener to taste.
Iced chai: brew at double strength, let it cool, then top up with cold milk and ice — a summer classic.
Pure organic spices
Cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, pepper and star anise — all from certified organic cultivation, whole pieces instead of powder.
Indian Assam base
Robust organic black tea from Assam (India) — the perfect foundation for the spicy chai blend. About 40–60 mg of caffeine per cup.
Perfect for latte & iced
Plain, with milk as a classic chai latte or as iced chai in summer — versatile enough for any time of day.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers about chai
What are chai and masala chai?
Chai simply means "tea" in Hindi. Masala chai ("spiced tea") refers to the famous Indian spiced tea blend: black tea as the base, seasoned with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black pepper and star anise. Traditionally it is simmered on the stove with milk and sweetener.
Which spices are in chai?
The classic chai blend contains cardamom (fresh, citrusy sweetness), cinnamon (warmth and depth), ginger (gentle heat), cloves (spicy-sweet character), black pepper (the signature bite) and star anise or fennel (depending on the recipe). Every blend has its own character.
Does chai contain caffeine?
Yes — because of the black tea content, chai contains around 40–60 mg of caffeine per cup (250 ml). Caffeine-free chai blends are made on a rooibos base — same spice character, but without caffeine.
How is chai prepared?
Classic Indian method: slowly bring 1 tsp of chai per 200 ml of water plus 100 ml of milk to the boil in a pot, simmer for 3–5 minutes, pour through a sieve and sweeten with honey or sugar. Quicker: boiling water, steep for 5 minutes, then add milk and sweetener.
Chai without milk — is that possible?
Of course. The spice aromas actually come through especially well on their own. A dash of honey or lemon goes nicely. You can also make a creamy chai with oat, almond or soy milk — vegan and just as aromatic.
Can you drink chai in summer?
Yes, as iced chai. Brew at double strength (2 tsp per 200 ml), steep for 5 minutes, let it cool, then top up with cold milk and ice cubes. A summer hit from Indian cafés. It also works plain without milk — simply with ice and a splash of lemon.
