What Exactly Is Chai Tea?
Chai tea, made from a blend of black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and other spices, has been used for centuries in India and other parts of the world as a soothing and healing beverage.
The combination of these warming spices heats you from within and stimulates digestion. When combined with the sweet and caramel-like flavor of maple syrup, our recipe creates a truly unforgettable taste experience.

In order to take it to the next level, we combine equal parts of the spiced tea with our homemade cannabis milk.
In addition to its great flavor, this chai maple latte is also infused with cannabis, which has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. By controlling what type of bud you use, you can also control the effect this drink will have.
Follow the guide on Indica vs Sativa to find what you would prefer. I like starting the day with an energizing Sativa strain, and winding down in the evening with Indica bud.
