Chai is an integral part of Indian culture.  While riding the rails in India for example, the call of the chai wallah, "Chayee! Chayee!" can be heard at every stop.  It is not uncommon for the tea sellers to board trains in the middle of the night to wake passengers and sell their spicy concoctions.  Chai is served in small clay cups that, when drained, are thrown onto the tracks below.  The thick warm beverage is typically made with robust black teas, such as those produced in Assam.  Heavy milk is used to brew the tea, to which a multitude of spices is added.  From wallah to wallah recipes vary, but spice combinations generally include cardamom pods, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and pepper.  The cup produced is exceptionally full-bodied and incredibly soothing. 

This fabulous chai tea by The Metropolitan Tea Company features the addition of an extra ingredient - fresh vanilla.  The exotic addition bolsters the cup by providing creamy notes that round out the spicy mix of the tea.  It is unlike anything else that we have tasted and we have no hesitation in recommending it.

It may surprise you to learn that the people of Ireland drink more tea per capita than any other population on Earth.  It's true!  In fact, your average Irish citizen drinks about 6 cups per day.  What's more, the cups that they drink are so strong that you could almost stand a spoon upright in them.  Indeed, the Irish prefer what some might call a "sturdy" cup of tea. 

In order to provide the Irish with blends this strong, tea blenders supplying the market buy up top all of the top quality seasonal output from Assam and Kenya.  The Assam teas are picked from the top production of the Second Flush, a period of high growth in the month of June.  The Kenyans selected are usually those produced in either February or August when the most flavorful tea leaves are grown. 

The Assam component of this particular Irish blend produced by The Metropolitan Tea Company gives the cup a strong, deep, malty character with heavy layers of astringency that dry the mouth, feeling almost as if you could chew the tea.  The Kenyan teas provide a bright coppery color with profound floral notes that add a complex depth to the cup. 

The resulting tea is a stout and robust blend with superb color and a full bodied flavor.  It is excellent in the early morning or in the afternoon.  We are duly impressed with its quality and are pleased to recommend it to even the most discriminating tea drinkers.

The flavory summer sweet pieces of strawberry and papaya round out this exceptionally smooth green tea.  The master tea blenders of The Metropolitan Tea Company were inspired by their memories of their strawberry picking in Sag Harbor when they created this superb flavored green tea. 

Green tea is produced by forgoing the fermentation process required to produce black tea.  Instead, the tea leaves are steamed as soon as they are plucked, then bruised by machine or by hand.  The bruised tea leaves are pan-fired or basket-fired - a process that gives the tea its distinctive glossy look and feel.  The process also gives green teas, this Sencha in particular, a light, sweetish flavor - the perfect match for the fresh flavor of the Long Island strawberry.  We love it and think that you will too!

The tea masters at The Metropolitan Tea Company maintain that they have produced the world's greatest Earl Grey decaf.  (We are of the opinion that they may, in fact, be absolutely correct.)  Their naturally flavored blend uses delicately scented oils to flavor tea that has undergone a unique all-natural CO2 decaffeination process.  This process uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine and leave the nuances of the tea intact.  (Noticeably absent is the taint that is normally associated with chemically decaffeinated blends.)
