The story

Proper chai, minus the buzz

Most decaf chai blends taste like cardboard with a pinch of cinnamon. This one starts with a decaffeinated black tea base from India and Kenya that still has body and colour, so the spices have something to work with. The ginger comes through first, then the warming cinnamon, and cardamom rounds out the middle.

Black and white pepper add a gentle heat at the finish without shouting about it. Clove and nutmeg sit quietly underneath, giving the cup depth rather than dominating. It is spiced, but balanced: you can taste the tea as well as the spice rack.

Brew it strong with less water, strain, then top up with warmed milk for a proper chai latte that will not keep you awake. Or drink it black in the afternoon when you want the flavour without the full caffeine hit. Either way, it tastes like chai should.

A lighter cup that lets the tea base show through.

02With milk

Amount
1.5 tsp (3.5g)
Water
100°C, half a cup
Time
3 minutes

Brew strong, strain, top up with warmed milk. Taste before sweetening.

03Iced chai latte

Amount
2 tsp (5g)
Water

Shop tip: Let the spices steep a little longer than you would a plain black tea. Three minutes brings out the cardamom and pepper without bitterness.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Is decaf masala chai completely caffeine-free?

No. Decaffeinated means most of the caffeine has been removed, but a trace remains. If you need zero caffeine, look for a caffeine-free herbal or rooibos blend instead.

How many cups will I get from each pack size?

At roughly 2.5g per cup: 50g makes about 20 cups, 100g around 40, 250g around 100, 500g around 200, and 1kg around 400 cups.

Do I need to add milk?

It is blended with milk in mind, but you can drink it black if you prefer. Black, you will taste more of the pepper and tea; with milk, the spices soften and meld together.

Should I add sugar or honey?

Taste it first. The spices bring their own warmth and the ginger has a natural bite, so you may find you need less sweetener than you expect.

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. A cupboard away from the hob is ideal.

Good to know

    A big fan

    I am a big fan of Porter Hill teas. I can't cope with caffeine and it's wonderful to have such a wide selection of decaf teas. This is a tea that will wake you up with peppery notes and a rounded robust taste. It is uplifting and it's a nice change to have some black tea. I received free samples with my last order and whilst not a fan of fruity teas I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the the mango fire and calming tulsi teas. My favourite tea is Glow though -it does what it says on the tin!
