An unsweetened chai base — black tea extract and traditional spices, no added sugar. Built for cafés that want to control sweetness at the bar (or for guests who don't want it sweetened at all).

3 g per serving — about a heaped teaspoon. Works as a chai latte base, in baking, or as a spice rub for poached fruit.
