Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ingredients in Meria Chai?
Meria Chai contains 7 organic ingredients: black tea powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, and black pepper. Zero sugar, zero fillers, zero artificial flavors.
Why does Meria Chai only have 7 ingredients?
Every ingredient earns its place through flavor or function. We removed sugar, maltodextrin, "natural flavors," and other fillers common in instant chai. The result is pure, bold-tasting chai.
Is the cinnamon in Meria Chai tested for heavy metals?
Yes. Our cinnamon comes from a supplier who provides batch testing documentation (COAs) for heavy metals including lead. We prioritize verified testing over marketing claims.
How much caffeine is in Meria Chai?
Meria Chai has approximately 40-50mg caffeine per serving from the organic black tea—roughly half a cup of coffee. L-theanine provides smooth, sustained energy without jitters.
What makes the spices in Meria Chai different?
Most of our spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, nutmeg) are sourced organic from Red Ape Cinnamon, who publishes per-lot heavy-metal test results publicly. Black tea and black pepper are sourced separately. We use real spices in meaningful amounts, not "natural flavors" masking minimal spice content.
Why does Meria Chai taste stronger than other chai?
Most instant chai is 50%+ sugar and fillers, which dilute spice flavor. Meria Chai is 100% tea and spices with nothing to dilute the taste. The bold flavor comes from actual ingredients.
