Description
Kama Sutra Chai
Ancient Indian tradition holds that the Kama Sutra was authored by Maharishi Vatsyayana, who lived in India between the 1st and 6th centuries AD during the Gupta period. This era was marked by remarkable cultural and artistic growth. The Kama Sutra serves as a manual on the science of love, where “Kama” translates to desire and “Sutra” means a technical guide. The text presents various positions for, let’s say, “marital enjoyment,” with intriguing names like “the Cobra” and “Tigress.”
Interestingly, tradition also claims that Maharishi Vatsyayana was a celibate monk. How he conceived such sultry and stimulating ideas remains a mystery. Nonetheless, in the spirit of Vatsyayana’s ancient wisdom, we present this fabulous tea—a true melange of spices. Our Kama Sutra Chai features strong Indian and Kenyan teas blended with an age-old spice recipe that echoes the essence of the Kama Sutra.

Brewing Tips
Important: Before brewing, turn your bag of chai upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom during transit, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
