If you're looking for an alternative to green tea and coffee, chai tea — a combination of spices and strong black teas most commonly from Assam and Darjeeling blends — can be a delicious and comforting new addition to your daily routine. Chai lattes offer hints of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and clove and are enjoyed any time of day, from busy mornings to relaxing afternoons.

Tom Thumb offers several varieties of this increasingly popular drink. For example, concentrated chai tea from TAZO can be prepared with milk and sugar and served with breakfast or enjoyed on its own any time of day. Premade chai tea latte mixes from brands like Oregon Chai are another option and can be served hot or over ice.

Another possible reason to stock up: Drinking chai tea is known to be potentially beneficial, thanks to the high amount of vitamin K, calcium and potassium found in each cup.
