Last Autumn we received several requests to add a pumpkin spice chai to our store… To be honest, I was not sure how to respond because if you are familiar with the ingredients in traditional chai, it already contains all the common ingredients used to make pumpkin spice! {Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves.} Add a few more ingredients (in the perfect proportion) and you get Simply Chai! The typical pumpkin spice chai would be somewhat redundant…

But I was eager to create something unique, so I tried a little experiment with some organic pumpkin powder I had in my kitchen, and combined with an extra hint of “pumpkin spice,” I created our Pumpkin Chai. It took a little while to troubleshoot this blend because I discovered that the pumpkin spice + powder combination would get stuck in my strainer while pouring, but after some trial and error, I perfected the proportions, and this has no longer been an issue for me. The end result is a delicious, unique blend of autumn in a cup.

This specialty chai is only available from September to October each year, so be sure to purchase yours while it is still in the store!
