The 5 Benefits of Chai

1. Increases vitality

Spices are a natural and healthy stimulant, producing a slow and steady release of energy. Many Chai recipes also include Black Tea, such as our Black Tea Chai Latte, which adds a good amount of caffeine to the mix. This is beneficial when starting the day, and also to keep us active throughout the day.

2. Prevents colds

The antioxidants in tea and spices improve our immune response. In particular ginger is also effective in relieving symptoms if we are already cold, as it reduces fever and helps expel mucus.

3. Stimulates metabolism

Some spices such as for example cinnamon and cardamom activate metabolism and their regular consumption stimulates pancreatic enzymes, improving fat metabolism. Chai is a satiating drink, which helps regulate appetite between meals.


4. It takes care of cardiovascular health

Chai spices combined with tea, are a good source of polyphenols, which regulate blood fat levels and prevent their adhesion in the arteries.

5. Reduces abdominal bloating

Chai blends boost the activity of the stomach and digestion in general.

Choose your reason to try Chai and its delicious flavor will win you over. It's a drink, with many benefits, that will warm you up in winter, but try drinking it iced as well, as a refreshing option and enjoy its healthy and natural energy all year round
