This delicious and comforting Coconut Chai Tea is packed with antioxidants like decaf black tea, clove, cinnamon and black pepper. Combined with cardamom and coconut milk for digestive support. And xylitol has been shown to help improve dental health and combat Candida/yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract.

History of Chai Tea
Unlike many milky teas, which are brewed in water with milk later added, traditional masala chai is often brewed directly in the milk. In many Eurasian languages, chai or cha is the word for tea. This comes from the Persian چای chay, which originated from the Chinese word for tea 茶 chá.

Dr. Jill likes to add a dash of cinnamon to hers! Also you can substitute organic whole leaf stevia if preferred for xylitol.
