(For those who loved our Matcha Vanilla Chai, this is that same product... now it is just called Matcha Chai) For over 15 years we have enjoyed the benefits of Matcha green tea lattes... years before Starbucks or other commercial vendors discovered it. As much as we have enjoyed Matcha, and still do, we equally enjoyed a good chai tea latte on those wintry evenings.

"I love every tea that I have tried! The original green tea matcha, the chai matcha, the pumpkin spice matcha (and I don't like pumpkin anything!) and the matcha cacao. I love it all! My boyfriend, who really doesn't like anything other than beer, is also now a huge fan. I never thought I would see him whip up a Matcha Chai Latte instead of cracking open a can of beer!. The Matcha Chai Latte is so much better than Starbucks, or any other one I have ever tried. It's perfectly spicey and delicious. The only problem is that, eventually, it disappears. But with the free shipping for members and the speed of delivery, it's not an issue for long.
