What's inside

One stainless steel strainer. A fine mesh bowl that catches every leaf and spice.

One bag of Golden Somali Bites (Kac Kac). Crispy, lightly sweet and warm with cardamom. Made for dunking.

The chai has no preservatives, no citric acid and no added sugar, so how sweet your cup gets is your call.

Two bags, four ingredients

Kenyan black tea

Bold CTC black tea from the Kenyan highlands. The small, tight leaves hold up to a long simmer and a pour of milk without going flat.

It's the base of every cup we pour.

Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves

Three spices blended right into the leaf. Warm cinnamon, bright cardamom and a little bite from the cloves.

No preservatives, no citric acid, nothing else in the bag.

The same cup as the café

This is the blend we pour every day at The Horn in Nashville. Brew it at home and the café cup is on your kitchen counter.

Two bags make 48 cups.
