Mandarin Orange Chai Tea

As the mercury drops and summer fades to fall, the cool, refreshing beverages we use to beat the heat are replaced with drinks of a warmer variety. Oregon-based Blue Lotus Chai has released two new flavors, Mandarin Masala and Star Anise, both of which offer full-body flavors that are perfect for heralding the fall foliage, mug in hand. This brew-worthy black tea powder of Indian origin is combined with a divine array of spices and fruit extracts that give off a cozy aroma, and each 3-ounce canister contains 100 cups worth of tea, along with a bamboo spoon for scooping. No steeping required—simply heat the water, mix in the tea, and savior each sip.
