Ingredients

How it tastes
A spicy cinnamon-rich chai, but allows the tea to shine through
Promotions
spice it up
This organic Assam black tea with Saigon cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and pink peppercorns is on another level of delicious. In the 19s, Saigon cinnamon was one of the finest spices on the market. But then came the Vietnam War, and exports ground to a halt. Now it’s comeback time. Try this dark, sweet perfection as a spicy iced tea, Viet-style, with sweetened condensed milk.
What makes it great
- In India, “chai” just means “tea” and “masala” means “spiced” – so the real name for a spiced tea is a “masala chai.”
- Potent Saigon Cinnamon has the most cinnamon oil of any spice.

<span itemprop="name">Simply Delicious</span>
<span itemprop="description">My favourite tea for several years now has been David’s Tea Organic Chai. In recent months, I have not been able to find it neither in-store nor online. I have also not been able to determine after multiple inquiries whether it has been discontinued or not. Fortunately, while I was in-store recently, a kind employee suggested I try Organic Saigon Chai as an alternative. I was very hesitant at first, believing that it couldn’t possibly replace my long time favourite chai. However, I was very pleased to discover that, with a small amount of condensed milk, it is simply delicious. I look forward to having a cup each day and it is even an alternative some mornings to my favourite cup of coffee.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Extremely wasteful packaging.</span>
<span itemprop="description">Interesting combo of flavours but DT's has obviously very little consideration for the environment (and "organic" simply a selling mechanism) since customers receive small 50 gr packages no matter the volume they order. So my 250 grams of tea came in 5 packages. Such wastefulness is just sad and totally unnecessary -> hence the 3 stars for a tea I would have otherwise rated 5 stars.
While it might reflect DT's commitment to speed, I'd be happy to receive my order a day+ later if that would eliminate the surplus packaging.
And yes, this is a general observation and also concerns all other flavours/teas. :(</span>

<span itemprop="description">saigon chai is my favourite simple chai. i bought it two years ago for the first time and only ran out this year, although ive noticed there’s a lot more cinnamon in it now. it’s still good, but the cinnamon is quite overwhelming. i have it with brown sugar and a little bit of milk</span>

<span itemprop="name">Could be a bit stronger, quite mild flavour.</span>
<span itemprop="description">Not as spicy as I was hoping, but still has a nice flavour. Works well as a chai latte or straight up tea, although I find for both, you really need to double up the tea portion to get any flavour.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Thoroughly enjoyable</span>
<span itemprop="description">I first received Saigon Chai as a gift and it sat on the shelf for a few months before I tried a cup. It reminds me of a musala chai I make occasionally. The musala chai took me a half out to make using ingredients I purchased in bulk. The Saigon Chai mix has eliminated the work involved with making the musala chai without giving up any of the taste and without the need to keep a variety of ingredients on hand.
Now I can make and enjoy a cup tea whenever I like without having to make a two litre pot of musala chai.</span>

Hi, I am a big fan of Oragnic David&rsquo;s chai which is unfortunately recently discontinued.I had been drinking it for over 10 years and it was the best chai tea ever. Please bring it back. Is this similar flavour or replacement to Organic David&rsquo;s Chai.

Hi Dogma North! Great question. Though there is a lot of overlap between the spices in both blends, Organic Kashmiri Chai has a more pronounced note of cardamom, while Organic Saigon Chai has a more balanced ratio of spices. We hope this helps&mdash;happy steeping! 🍵

I don't know about your question about the child Mighty but if you go on to the David's Tea website and look up any of the teas that you like it will tell you if they're about to discontinue it or if it's going away for the season or if it's coming back soon etc etc
