Teas for your home-made chai latte

Along with trendy matcha latte, here at Kusmi we love chai latte – THE hot drink from India you just have to try, renowned for its energizing properties. With that in mind, we had to concoct a selection of spiced teas for your latte recipes.
First of all, let us introduce one of our oldest spiced black tea recipes, our Kashmir Tchaï. Kashmir Tchaï, as its name indicates, is a black chai tea enhanced with an incredible blend of spices: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and clove. Everything that makes this black tea PERFECT for mixing with your milk and milk foam.
For those of you who want to give back, we recommend our Tchaï of the Tiger, an organic spiced black teaThis peppery, spiced black tea with ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon is sure to delight those who like things a little spicy.
Fancy varying the pleasure? You can also make a chai latte with the iconic Prince Vladimir, a black tea with notes of citrus and vanilla. And the Sweet Love black tea will awaken all your senses with its spice blend of guarana, licorice, and pink pepper.
Have you decided on one of our different spiced black teas? If so, we’ll meet you in the kitchen to teach you how to make your very own delicious chai latte.

The Chai Latte Recipe

The recipe for our Chai Latte is very simple. All you have to do is brew two spoonfuls of your favorite spiced tea in a teapot for 5 minutes. When the infusion is ready, pour the desired amount into a mug, leaving enough room for the milk. Add a drop of honey or agave syrup. Finally, whisk your milk until it becomes nice and creamy, and pour it into your chai tea.
And as cinnamon lovers always want a little more spice, sprinkle some cinnamon or a spice of your choosing over the top. You can now enjoy your chai latte. And we promise, it will be perfect for warming your hands and your heart this winter.

How can black tea be both diuretic and hydrating?

Yes, it can! Although it may seem paradoxical at first glance - to provide the body with water and at the same time encourage its elimination - the two beneficial effects complement each other. By drinking black tea, the body receives the water it needs to function properly, and then the water is eliminated (along with the toxins!) when the body no longer needs it.

Our Russian teas

Who better than the Russians to help you get through a harsh winter? And especially our legendary Russian teas! Fortunately, as you know, Kusmi was originally founded in Russia before becoming a naturalized French citizen. This is why you can count on our Russian teas to warm your hands, body, and mind this winter.
When it starts getting cold, we turn to all things classic and iconic. Which is why we just had to tell you about our Earl Grey tea, a black tea with bergamot. We like coming back to it every winter, and can never resist pouring a second mug of this strong black tea, especially on chilly mornings.
Two of the Kusmi Earl Grey blends will help you get over that winter fatigue. Firstly, there is Anastasia, our organic black tea with bergamot and lemon. Secondly, there is our Prince Vladimir, a black tea flavored with citrus, vanilla, and spices. These Earl Greys are two of the iconic recipes by Kusmi.

Comforting organic infusions

So far, we have talked to you about our strong teas, those with spiced aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger that delicately perfume the room. However, we know you, and when you hear the word “winter” you immediately think about long, lazy evenings cuddled up under the duvet in front of Netflix. Are we wrong? No need to worry: at Kusmi, we love our winter evenings even more thanks to our brand-new range of caffeine-free organic infusions.
And don’t think that herbal teas just mean linden and chamomile! Far from it! At Kusmi, we want delicious, comforting flavors from start to finish.
What infusion will you choose for your next evening in with Netflix?
Thanks to its biscuit notes, our delicious Sweet Break infusion is perfectly suited to an evening of Netflix and Chill. Why? Because after dinner, we always like to finish with something sweet! Well here is just the organic infusion for the job. Nothing is more comforting than our Sweet Break, a delicious organic herbal tea with biscuit notes.
During the day, our Sweet Break organic herbal tea is also ideal for taking a break. As we like to say at Kusmi, breaks are sacred – and essential for recharging our batteries in winter.
It was therefore an obvious choice to include Sweet Break, our organic blend of hibiscus with red fruit and biscuit flavors, in our winter selection.

Spice buffs will already be in love with our Only Spices organic infusion with 7 spices. An organic, caffeine-free blend packing a spicy punch and a certain sweetness thanks to subtle notes of aniseed. In a word, an organic infusion that reminds us of the south, drinks on the beach, the sun, and the sea… What could be better when the temperature plummets?
