Wisdom Nectar Tea | Chai Garam Masala ~ Grounding + Warming for Digestion & Prana

Bring Ayurvedic wisdom of the East into your morning ritual. Grounding & warming spices aid digestion & get the prana moving.



Ah ~ there's nothing better than this! 


Full of warming cinnamon & ginger, this beautiful Chai Garam Masala will wake you up, stimulate the digestive system & settle any stomach discomfort. 


To round out the herbal spiciness, we add star anise, clove, cardamom & black pepper. The final ingredient, which is not found in traditional Indian Chai Garam Masala, is earthy vanilla bean. It brings all the flavors together in a stimulating & grounding way.


Bonus: kids love this aromatic blend in the morning!




Straight from the streets of India 


During my travels in India, sipping on Chai Garam Masala was one of my favorite daily rituals. 


Every morning you’d find someone serving fresh chai in handmade, lightly baked & unglazed clay cups called bhar. 


These small clay vessels infuse the tea with a lovely Earth essence, as well as draw out impurities from the tea water. 


When finished with your tea, it’s customary to smash your cup in the street or even throw it out the train window; since the cups are unglazed, they’re perfectly bio-degradable & the clay shards dissolve back into the Earth over time.
