The base is an organic black tea from the Thiashola Garden in the Nilgiri District in Southwest India, located at an altitude of 2000 meters - one of the world's most renowned ethically managed tea gardens and also home to WWF protected tigers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded to this is the classic chai spice blend: ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, black and pink pepper, supplemented with liquorice and chicory. For every tin sold, 1 Euro goes to the WWF Tx2 project for the protection of wild tigers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The tea contains liquorice. People with high blood pressure should avoid excessive consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"spk-sensorik\"\u003eDeep dark infusion, spicy-strong with a slight peppery kick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as you open the tin, a powerful spice bouquet unfolds: warming cinnamon meets fresh ginger, cardamom opens up the middle, and the two types of pepper add the piquant accents. Visible are the dark black tea leaves, interspersed with light ginger pieces, small cinnamon stick splinters, dark peppercorns and the characteristic pink peppercorns – a tin like a spice market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, the Tchai of the Tiger shows a deep mahogany red. The first sip is full-bodied and strong, the malty Assam depth of the Indian black tea forms the foundation, ginger brings the warming spiciness. Cardamom gives depth and that delicate lemon note, cinnamon warms, and the two peppers give a surprising piquant kick on the finish. The liquorice root rounds everything off with natural sweetness – strong, spicy, balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"spk-zubereitung\"\u003eIn the cold season with milk froth or as a classic chai latte\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTchai of the Tiger\u003c\/strong\u003e is the classic winter and autumn tea for all those who love spices. Drunk plain, it goes well with spicy curries, Indian lentil dishes, paneer cheese or oriental spiced cake. In winter, it accompanies pumpkin soup, roast with red cabbage and baked apple desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, its real home game is as a chai latte. To do this, brew the tea as usual, let it steep for a long time, then mix it with frothed milk (or oat, almond, soy milk) in equal parts, sweeten with a spoonful of honey or agave syrup and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. The result: a spicy, creamy morning tea that rivals any café chai latte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a pot, you need about 2 tablespoons of loose tea per liter, infused with 90°C hot water, steeping time 5 minutes. If you want to increase the spiciness, let the tea steep longer or add a fresh ginger slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for more spiced blends in the Kusmi range, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kusmi-tea-prince-wladimir-100g\"\u003ePrince Wladimir\u003c\/a\u003e offers a Russian variant with orange, clove and vanilla, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/kusmi-tea-label-imperial-100g\"\u003eLabel Impérial\u003c\/a\u003e a green tea spice blend according to Russian winter tradition.

The region is known for its ethical and organic tea cultivation – and for its biodiversity: elephants, panthers, monkeys and more than 40 bird species live here, as do the WWF-protected tigers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, Kusmi Tea has supported the WWF Tx2 project, which aims to double the number of wild tigers by 2022 (the Chinese Year of the Tiger) compared to 2010.
