Pu'erh Maple Chai – Canadian Maple & Chai-Spiced Pu-erh
Have we told you how much we adore pure maple syrup here in Canada? Pu'erh Maple Chai is our authentically Canadian take on a sweet and spicy pu-erh! Earthy pu-erh makes the perfect base, supporting the natural maple goodness without overpowering it.
To it we've added cream caramel, real dehydrated maple syrup and classic chai spices — cinnamon, ginger and clove — with cornflowers for a touch of color. The result is a full-flavored, delicious pu-erh blend that's sweet, warming and utterly comforting.

Caramel
Caramel is made by slowly cooking sugar until it turns golden and develops its rich flavor, a technique perfected by European confectioners. Small caramel pieces melt into the cup to add a buttery, toasty sweetness with notes of brown sugar and toffee. They turn black tea, rooibos and honeybush into a cozy dessert-style cup, and pair well with vanilla, chocolate, almond, apple and cinnamon. Caramel blends are delicious with a splash of milk or cream.
Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, rolled into the familiar curled quills. In the cup it gives a sweet, woody warmth with a gentle bite and a rich, bakery-like aroma. It is a natural partner for black tea, rooibos and fruit blends, especially alongside ginger, cardamom, clove and apple. Try a cinnamon blend with a splash of milk on a cold morning, or brew it strong and pour it over ice.
Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of an evergreen tree originally from the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, once among the most prized spices in the world. They bring an intense, warm, sweet-spicy flavor with a slightly numbing tingle and a deep, festive aroma. A little goes a long way in chai, holiday black teas, rooibos and mulled fruit blends, where clove works beautifully with cinnamon, orange peel and ginger. Blends with clove stand up well to milk and sugar.
Cornflower, also called bachelor's button, is a European wildflower that once grew freely in grain fields, which gave it its name. Its petals are prized for their striking blue color rather than a strong taste, offering only a faint, mild, slightly sweet floral note. You will often see cornflower scattered through Earl Grey and Lady Grey style black teas, as well as green tea and herbal blends. It makes any blend look as good in the tin as it tastes in the cup.
Ginger is the knobby root, or rhizome, of a tropical plant first grown in Southeast Asia and now cultivated in India, China and beyond. In the cup it brings a lively, peppery heat with a bright, zesty, slightly citrusy aroma that warms from the first sip. Ginger is one of the stars of chai and pairs well with black tea, green tea, rooibos and herbal blends, often alongside lemon, cinnamon, turmeric and peach. It is great hot with honey or brewed strong and served iced.

A perfectly indulgent fall chai -- sweet, spicy, and full-bodied without without adding cream or honey. I bought it with hopes for a latte and am thrilled with the results (a triple-strength steep cut it with steamed milk and topped with warm froth and a heavy sprinkle of coconut sugar). It's unfortunate we can include pics on reviews -- looks as good as it tastes!

Wow !!! Spice taste & smell explosion. I love the balance of the sweetness from the creme caramel and maple alongside the spices . The pu’reh tea is subtle and I enjoyed drinking this without milk. Definitely an indulgent moment ????☕️♥️

Just WoW! I am amazed by the flavor. Even the empty cup kept aromatizing the surroundings with maple caramel notes. I think I brewed it too much the first time that the herbal notes over powered the maple notes. But this is, hands down, the best chai I have tasted in a long while - a caramelly maple kick to regular chai. Wonderful!

I disnt have high expectations when I initially purchased this but I have to say I am beyond glad I did. It brews a lovely cup of tea. The tea itself isn't strong like a cup of black tea is. I cant tell that it's a cup of chai tea as the maple scent and flavor are very prominent. I will say that it's worth every penny and I'm about to order more.

I'm a chai fan! I listened to the reviews on this one and they are absolutely true. This is a delicious tea. I'm used to the spicy type of chai, but I am loving the maple. It is not too sweet. I could drink this every day. What a treat!

To my taste, this chai has the perfect blend of tea and spices. To my mind, many chai's are over spiced, giving the resulting beverage a hard almost angular taste. The taste of this blend is nicely spicy but with a nice rounded taste, I attribute that to the dehydrated maple syrup. As others have said this chai makes a delightful latte, I add maple syrup sweetened medium cream to mine. It makes a nice late afternoon beverage, especially on a Sunday afternoon in Winter. One note: I like my teas significantly stronger than the people at Lyratea, instead of 1 tsp/8oz, brewed for 2-3 minutes; I use 2 Tbs for a 20 oz. mug and brew it for 5 minutes. I am looking forward to summer to see how it stands up to ice.

This is a lovely dessert tea, full of flavour without being overly sweet. Like having pancakes but without all the fat and stodge!

We are new customers and thought we would order a few things to try and this was one! Oh my goodness! This tea is amazing! No more expensive lattes for me at the coffee shops! We made this into a latte and it was amazing. Just the right touches of maple and chai flavors! Perfection in a pot.

Love this tea - it's got a real ginger kick, mellowed by the maple flavour, and no overly-earthy pu-erh taste. Everyone in my family thinks this is delicious!

There's no doubting the quality of the tea. But its sweet, not a little sweet. Like eating condensed milk straight from the tin sweet.
