Stash Chai Green Tea

This chai uses a green tea base instead of the traditional black tea, which creates a lighter, less astringent cup. You'll still get those warm chai spices—clove and cinnamon come through nicely—but with a smoother, more delicate backdrop. If you find traditional black tea chais too heavy or tannic, this green tea version offers a refreshing alternative.

The chai flavor is moderate rather than intense. Most reviewers appreciate the 'good chai flavor' and mention clove and cinnamon specifically, but a few note the spice could be stronger. If you like a powerful, punchy chai, you might want to steep it a bit longer or add a splash of milk to help the spices bloom. It's flavorful but not overwhelming.

Absolutely! While it's perfectly enjoyable on its own, this chai takes well to customization. Several tea enthusiasts mention adding creamer to bring out the spices. The green tea base is mild enough that it won't clash with milk or honey, making it a versatile option whether you prefer it straight or dressed up.

Yes, this is actually ideal for chai beginners. The convenient tea bag format makes it super easy to prepare—no measuring loose leaves or special equipment needed. The familiar chai spices (cinnamon and clove) are approachable, and the green tea base is less intimidating than strong black tea. It's a great introduction to chai without being too intense.

Since it's made with green tea rather than black tea, it has less caffeine than traditional chai—typically around 25-30mg per cup compared to 40-50mg for black tea chai. Some reviewers specifically appreciate this lower caffeine level. It's a nice option if you want chai flavor in the afternoon or evening without keeping yourself awake.

Several customers have reported receiving boxes that arrived crushed or damaged, and a couple received only one box instead of the advertised two-pack. While the tea itself is well-regarded, it's worth checking your shipment when it arrives and contacting the seller immediately if there are any issues. The actual tea bags inside are typically fine, but the outer packaging seems to be hit-or-miss during shipping.
