Using chai tea as a base, 'ChaiElixir' drinks are enhanced with natural flavors and effervescence. While enjoying a hot cup of chai tea might have only been part of a morning, mid-day or nightly ritual, this sparking chai drink is a much more convenient grab-and-go option for any time of day or a special occasion, since it is pre-prepared, bottled and most likely when it is purchased, chilled.
Since chai spice is a black tea, it has a natural caffeine content that makes it slightly energizing.
Fruit and spices are added to the drinks so that the beverages take on flavors from White Tea, Oolong and Green Tea. It's becoming quite popular for tea to be crossed over with other beverages, in the form of coffee beans infused with green tea, smoothies made with a base of tea or wine-inspired tea.
