About this product

Real chai from a mug and a microwave — for busy mornings and slow evenings

About Golden CHAInstant

Golden CHAInstant lays the soft glow of turmeric and the roundness of vanilla over the layered aroma of Inspice Chai.

Turmeric sits at the centre of both scent and taste, which gives the cup its natural gold and its warm, unhurried drinking.

The materials

The twelve spices at the base of Inspice Chai — cassia, cardamom, maqaw, clove, fennel (Akunavi), ginger, tonka bean, star anise, Tellicherry black pepper, timur, nutmeg and coriander — with turmeric, vanilla bean, long pepper and additional cardamom blended in.

Golden CHAInstant uses more turmeric than turmeric drinks usually do. Not for colour: it is there to build the aroma, the taste and the sense of warmth.

Whole vanilla beans are used generously.

Not an artificial sweetness — the natural roundness and depth the bean itself carries, dissolving into the warmth of turmeric and bringing the golden flavour into agreement.

The taste

The moment it meets milk, the natural gold of turmeric spreads and a gentle warmth rises.

The round finish of vanilla layers with the depth and brightness of the spices, and the comfort holds as you drink on.

A chai for daily unwinding, or for a quiet start to the morning.

What CHAInstant is

Inspice Chai is composed to hundredths of a gram: twelve spices and herbs with selected tea leaves, giving a depth you will find nowhere else. CHAInstant is that same cup, made reachable with nothing but a mug and a microwave.

Quick on a busy morning, or when you simply want to stop for a moment. One sip and the flavour opens out.

The ingredients are plant-based, plus rock salt. The tea bag is plant-derived too, and each one is made by hand.

Scent settles the body and the mind. We make this chai in the hope that it helps the day along — a cup that exists nowhere else.

Details

  • A chai tea bag for brewing proper chai at home, simply.
  • Serve it hot — or let it cool well and add ice for iced chai.
  • Fifteen selected spices and herbs with tea leaves in one pack.
  • Blended with red sugar, which sits well with chai.
  • Built on Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea, the gold standard of Indian tea.
  • One pack makes 220ml of chai.
  • The tea bag is Soilon, a biomass material made from plant starch. Unlike ordinary tea bags it sheds no microplastics — gentler on the sea and on you.

    チャイのスパイスは断然ここ!

    (妻投稿)チャイが大好きですが、市販のチャイやカフェのチャイは、スパイスが不十分で、自分としては物足りなかったです。そんな時たまたま金沢旅行の際にこちらの本店に寄りました。とてもおいしいチャイを飲むことができて、さらにお土産も購入。同じものが購入できないかと思い、楽天市場で見つけました。インスタントの袋を開けると茶葉とスパイスのティーバッグがパンパンになっているんです!本当に美味しくて、これはリピート確定です!チャイ好きさん絶対に買うべきです!
