Ingredients
Organic black tea from India, Organic cinnamon, Organic ginger, Organic pink peppercorns, Organic cardamom, Organic cloves, Natural (cinnamon, vanilla, cream) flavouring.
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">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>

<span itemprop="description">Fall is at our door and this blend is always in my tea cabinet. I usually drink it in the morning since it's medium caffeine but jeez, it's good! It's a chaï but not too much chaï ( if that makes sense) the spices are subtles but there. A black tea with the warmth of the spices.. There's comfort food and comfort tea Hihi Saigon Chaï is a treat. Happy sipping</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">I am currently drinking this for the first time. Smelling the bag after opening is heavenly. I used 2 teaspoons and steeped for a little over 5 mins. It is such beautiful tea! So smooth, so spicy. I just love it!! I will order again. I have ordered so much tea I need to try it all before I make another order but yum!

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

Hi there - is this 95 grams of tea or 95 grams with the tin? Also, has the saigon chai been discontinued as a regular loose tea? Thanks

<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: TheresaU</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="12789746">
95g is the amount of tea. The tin itself weighs nearly as much so there'd be practically no tea if the weight included the tin. And Saigon Chai is available loose now as well. Teas sometimes just sell out.
