CHAI NOTES:
Our chai spice teabags are made with an array of organic ingredients, to give it a special flavor and to help improve one’s health. Along with yerba mate the tea bags contain: cinnamon, licorice, ginger, nutmeg, clove and stevia.
Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory qualities that can lessen joint and muscle pain. Diabetics will be happy to know that a recommended daily dose of this spice can help regulate blood sugar. It also helps to improve circulation, digestive health, and relieves common stomach discomforts.
Licorice has long been used to treat an upset stomach, including treatment of stomach ulcers. It’s also useful in the treatment of coughs and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Ginger has a proven efficiency in treating nausea and motion sickness. Ginger is also high in antioxidants and is a natural anti-inflammatory.
Nutmeg helps to calm and lower blood pressure and soothes digestive upset. It also stimulates the cardiovascular system, promotes concentration, acts as an expectorant, reduces joint inflammation and helps the liver to remove toxins.
Clove helps to prevent toxicity from environmental pollutants as well as prevent digestive tract cancers. It’s also an anti-inflammatory herb.
Stevia has shown that it has a regulating effect on the pancreas and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Stevia is therefore useful to people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and Candidiasis. Other traditional uses of stevia are: lowers elevated blood pressure (hypertension), digestive aid that also reduces gas and stomach acidity, and for obesity. The herb acts as a general tonic which increases energy levels and mental acuity.
Enjoy the healthy benefits of Guayaki's Chai Spice Mate!

New Biodedgradable Packages for 2 pound tea bag orders.
Our new metalized bags are made entirely of biodegradable and compostable materials. The bags will compost in your home compost or landfill in 180 days.
The packages are made from renewable, non G.M.O. wood-pulp sourced from plantations employing Sustainable Forestry Management Principles, who conform to the environmental standard I.S.O. 14,000 and have either achieved or are working towards F.S.C. Printed with water based inks.
Is the Bio Bag’s packaging technology new?
Although cellophane and aluminum metallized films are not a new packaging concept, the process for producing metallized cellulose films that are compostable and biodegradable and that have the ability to be strong and flexible is truly groundbreaking. Guayakí is on the the ground floor of pioneering this packaging.
Why do the Guayakí Bio-Bags use NatureFlex Films?
Cellulose film is the oldest transparent packaging product. First marketed in the U.S. in the 1920’s as cellophane, it was the most popular packaging film used until the 1960’s when polyolefin based products began to dominate the packaging market for a variety of reasons. In the more environmentally-conscious marketplace of today, cellulose film is returning to popularity because it is on average 94% from renewable raw materials. Unlike the man-made polymers in plastics, which are largely derived from petroleum, cellulose films are manufactured from a natural polymer, cellulose, which is a component of plants and trees. The raw material for NatureFlex, the cellulose film that Guayakí is using, is a renewable wood-pulp sourced exclusively from plantations following sustainable forestry principles.
Why do the Guayakí Bio-Bags use aluminum?
Aluminum has been used since Roman and Greek times in various forms, and is used today in a wide variety of packaging materials. This metal acts as a very effective barrier to light, oxygen, odors, flavors, moisture, and bacteria. The new Guayakí bags are designed to provide the freshness benefits of an aluminum barrier, using the absolute minimum amount of metal necessary. The NatureFlex film used by Guayakí is the only metallized biodegradable film suitable for home composting because the level of metal is miniscule, less than 0.02% of the bag by overall composition. The ultra-thin layer is only a few atoms of aluminum thick, as opposed to the much thicker 180 ml sheets that are used by most companies.
How is NatureFlex made?
Cellulose film is made by digesting wood in a series of chemical processes that remove impurities and break the long fiber chains in the raw material. Regenerated via extrusion of a dissolved cellulose liquid as a clear, shiny film, with plasticizing chemicals added for flexibility, cellulose film is still comprised largely of cross-linked cellulose molecules. This means that it can be broken down by micro-organisms in the soil just as leaves and plants are.
How are the Guayakí Bio-Bags Biodegradable and Compostable?
Tests have shown that the average total time for complete bio-degradation of cellulose film is from 28 to 60 days for uncoated products, and from 80 to 120 days for coated cellulose products like the ones we use. In lake water, the rate of bio-degradation is 10 days for uncoated film and 30 days for coated cellulose film. Even materials which are thought of as highly degradable, like paper and green leaves, take longer to degrade than cellulose film products. Conversely, plastics, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, polyethylene terepthatlate (PET), and oriented-polypropylene (BOPP) show almost no sign of degradation after long periods of incorporation in soil.
In the Earth's crust, aluminum is the most abundant (8.13%) metallic element, and the third most abundant of all elements (after oxygen and silicon). However, because of its strong affinity for oxygen, it is almost never found in the elemental state; instead it is found in oxides or silicates. In the decomposition process for the Bio-Bags, the ultra-thin coating of aluminum oxidizes and turns into aluminum oxide which is non toxic.
All NatureFlex films are fully FDA & EU direct food contact approved and certified compostable to the ASTM 6400 and EN-13432 standards. A small amount of fossil-based polymer is used in the process in order to provide the required functional properties such as moisture barrier and sealability. Renewability tests conducted in accordance with ASTM 6866 show that NatureFlex films are certified 94% bio-based, with the remainder being fossil-based carbon.

Hot
Place tea bag in a cup of hot (not boiling) water. Steep 5-10 minutes. If you want it stronger, brew it longer.
Mate Chai Latté
Brew hot, then add your choice of milk and sweetener to taste. We like almond milk and honey.
Iced
Brew the tea bags, then add ice.

All time favorite tea!
By: Sean Furmidge of Frazier Park/Ca
I love this tea. I work for a large beverage company that also sells about 20 different teas from a major label. None of those teas can compare to Chai Spice Mate! When I drink this tea daily, I feel clean and energized. It has just the right amount of good caffenine but none of the negative side affects that coffee gives you. The flavor is unbeatable, just the best chai I have ever tasted. I use 2 tea bags, 16oz of water and one splenda. When I am out everyone knows because I mope around and cry, "I am out of my tea!" Try it you won't be dissappointed.

Love the chai spice mate
By: Christine of Orlando/Florida
My son introduced me to this product. I use to take the medication theophylline years ago for my asthma. Since drinking this tea I notice that I breathe better in the morning after two cups of tea. Instead of my inhaler inthe morning I drink your tea. I'm glad I can order straight from your company and buy larger quantities at a time. Now my son and I do not have to have a stand off on who can have the last bag of tea.
