David Rio Elephant Vanilla Chai is an exotic mixture of black tea and spices. The sweet and savory spices are the perfect compliment to the full, rich flavor of the tea. In countries around the world the sweet and savory spice components may differ slightly, but there are some essentials. Traditionally, chai is a steeped mixture of cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, black tea, and milk. A sweetener is also added to bring out the robust flavors of spices.
