Mountain High Chai: Striking the right balance
In South Asia, the word “chai” just means “tea.” Spiced tea, as we know it, is actually “masala chai.” And what is that? It is black tea mixed with spices including cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and pepper, in many variations. Continue reading

When tea becomes part of the meal … literally
Introducing a new feature from us here at two leaves — recipes! Our new marketing coordinator, Christy Garfield, came up with this concept, and now, having made the first recipe for my family over the weekend I can stand up and say, “Bravo!” How great is it that I had some tea in my cupboard (of course) and I could use it to create a really delicious meal? I’m looking forward to discovering many more tea-centric recipes that make our tea shine way beyond your daily mug. In this case, I used a spice grinder (but you could easily use a mortar and pestle) to pulverize a couple of sachets of Organic Mountain High Chai. That heavenly-smelling powder gets blended in with other spices and used as a rub on pork that will be seared. More of the Mountain High … Continue reading
Turning tea into ice cream
About a month ago during a staff meeting, someone mentioned that it was National Coffee Ice Cream Day. Tea is often considered a counterpoint to coffee, so it got us thinking … what kind of tea would turn into a great ice cream flavor? This was the perfect question for our Facebook fans, we thought. Phil Edelstein, marketing director, and I were both convinced the answer was Tropical Goji Green, for its deliciously fruity flavor. My second pick was a nice, creamy yet spicy ice cream made from Mountain High Chai. After batting it around the office, we went online and asked. Chris Lacke, Kris Smith and Alicia Collopy Benesh responded by suggesting Alpine Berry, and we admit, our reaction was “Of course! Why didn’t we think of that?” And then there are our Organic Peppermint devotees, like Chris Fernandez … Continue reading
The Mad Scientist at work!
The holiday aroma is among us here in the office…. Richard is busy mixing and brewing different variations for this year’s new Organic Chai blend. There are bits of cloves, cinnamom, pepper and cardamom blown around by the wind and ground into the carpet! Smells yummy! When brewing up Chai blends with so many ingredients you need to brew up at least two cups each to account for all the size variations and potency of the spicy flavors. It takes many different mixtures and lots of slurping to match up to our current Chai flavor profile! Love all the spicy smells but reminds me too much of winter! Not yet!! It has been in the 80′s and I am not quite ready to start thinking about sitting by the fire with Hot Chai quite yet! The summers up here in … Continue reading
