Tea Origin

Originating in India, chai was consumed as an ancient Ayurveda herbal medicine and consisted of just milk and spices.  It wasn't until the arrival of the British in the early 1820s that black tea was added to the mix, and it's this version that is now enjoyed worldwide.  

Today, we use a single blend of black tea from a plantation in tropical far north Queensland, where it's been grown, harvested and packed on the property by the same family since 1978.
