Photographed from one pouch, poured out. Nothing else goes in.
Most of our spices — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, and nutmeg — come from Red Ape Cinnamon, who publishes per-lot heavy-metal test results publicly. Black tea and black pepper are sourced separately. Some chai blends are made from bulk spice sources with limited transparency. We chose a different path.
Any milk. Any sweetener. Or none.

“I LOVE THIS CHAI!I love chai lattes and have been drinking them for years. My son suggested I purchase this organic chai powder as an alternative to the sugary one I was drinking. I just told him today how much I love it. It has the perfect amount of cinnamon and tastes so good with my soy milk. I will definitely be purchasing this again!”
Customer

Latte mix or chai powder? They are different things.
“Chai latte powder” covers two products. Most are just-add-water mixes, with the sweetener and a powdered milk already in the powder. This is the other kind: the chai on its own.
Read the ingredient list on any powder you're comparing. If sugar and milk powder come first, it's a mix. Then look for where the tea and the spices fall, and whether the label says spices or flavor. A mix makes a sweet cup from a kettle. This isn't that.
| A just-add-water latte mix | Meria Chai |
|---|---|
| In the powder | |
| Sugar and powdered milk or creamer first. Then tea and spice, sometimes as flavoring in place of ground spice | Black tea and six spices. Nothing else. |
| You add | |
| Water. The milk is already in it, powdered, and not yours to pick | Milk, any kind, heated and frothed with it |
| Sweetness | |
| Set by the maker | Yours to choose, or none |
| A cup takes | |
| Spoonfuls, because the sugar and milk are in it | 1.5 g for 8 oz |
| Made for | |
| A sweet cup with nothing but a kettle | A café-style chai latte at home |
It started with a question customers kept asking.
"Where can I get this at home?"
I run Café Meria in Charlevoix, Michigan—a tiny resort town on Lake Michigan. For years, our house chai was the thing people remembered. Not the pastries, not the coffee—the chai.
I tried to find them something. I really did. But every "clean" chai I found was either packed with sugar or tasted like cardboard. So I made it myself.
Same recipe. Same ingredients. Same care. The only difference is you're making it in your kitchen instead of ours.
