This intriguing green tea variety of a classic black chai transports you straight to the tea houses of old Shanghai. The subtle nuttiness of the fired green tea works wonders with warm spices of cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, while sweet spearmint and invigorating ginger make for a refreshing finish.

NO.84
NUMEROLOGY
We’ve given our Shanghai Chai the number 84, in reference to the famous Huxinting Teahouse in Shanghai, first built in 1784.
CHINA
The origins of tea lie in China: legend has it that it was discovered when a few leaves fell into the mythical emperor Shennong's cup of hot water. Today China produces thousands of different varieties ranging from black and green tea to more unusual teas, like puerh or yellow tea.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
