Our Spicy Eco Chai Buddy: Brook Eddy’s Bhakti Chai is a Hit.

By Heather Mueller on Aug 6, 2008 inin blog, blogofday, conscious consumerism, organics |

“Bhakti” is Sanskrit for “devotion,” never a luke-warm feeling. So it’s fitting that Brook Eddy’s Bhakti Chai comes from the Masala lineage, which means it’s full of fiery spices (ginger, cardomom, clove and black pepper) along with the traditional milky sweetness. The company itself is devoted to low environmental impact, brewing organic, fair-trade black tea from India and packaging everything in glass containers (which means they’re re-usable and easily recyclable, and won’t add to the island of plastic currently floating in the Pacific Ocean). Find a café or store that carries Bhakti near you, sit back, and drink up (slowly at first, so the spices don’t singe your tongue).

I had a free sample at Whole Foods and was immediately hooked. It’s great stuff if you like very spicy tea.

I’ll only go to coffee shops that sell this stuff. it is the nectar of the goddess. and I *love* the reusable glass jars on the 32oz-ers.

I love Bhakti too! But why is it so much more expensive than the other chai brands in town? It hurts my spicy chai loving wallet.

Bhakti is absolutely the best chai a person stateside can buy. All the love that goes into the small batch brewing makes it wholly holy good. I love mine with a rice/soy blend a la Morgan or whole moo milk too.

Oh my goodness, when is Bhakti Chai going to be in New York City? Do tell! What a great idea!

I like my chai with silk soy milk… It’s great with whole milk too, but my favaorite mixture is a dash of the Bhakti concentrate with esspreso vodka over ice.

I tried this stuff a couple of months ago and it is da bomb! I’ve only tried it with regular milk, but I’m wondering what other things people have added to it?

I tried Bhakti Chai 9 months ago and now it is the only thing I drink! No more coffee and definitely no other brands of Chai! I LOVE BHAKTI CHAI! The ground up spices are absolutely delicious! It is carried at all of the local coffee shops in Boulder, try it!! It is the best Chai out there!

This is one product certainly worthy of all the attention it is receiving. People in Nederland are switching from coffee to a healthy chai addiction, expanding thier tastes and preferences and adding something a little exotic to their diets. I’m hooked too! Another great product for the Boulder area.

Hey people, this is not hype–Bhakti really is that good. As you would with a hot new band, tell your friends and watch your popularity and sipping street cred soar.

Does Bhakti have signs or cool posters that coffee shops could hang up somewhere so people know they stock the magic tea? Even a well-designed, eye-catching sticker on the front door would be good….

there’s no denying, Bhakti is the very best chai around, in this country anyway.

i’ve seen the fresh pressed ginger brook uses, wow it’s fabulous.

thanks for helping get the word out—my current effort is trying to get Bookends to start carrying it (theirs sucks).

Bhakti Chai is an anomaly.
Forget Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, and Caribou.

It is not yet carried in NYC, but will be.

I love that stuff. I get it at Michaelangelo’s in Denver. It’s neat they are fair trade and all that, but it just tastes so damn good!

The lovely, historic, cozy Trident Cafe ( http://www.tridentcafe.com ) is now carrying Bhakti chai…the only problem is that nobody knows they have it, so nobody is ordering it. So, next time you’re at Trident, ask for a Bhakti and experience the spicy heaven that is masala chai, and keep Trident selling Bhakti!
