Product Overview
To enhance our Endangered Species Line, we created White Shark Chai™, David Rio’s latest, groundbreaking innovation: the very first ever white tea chai latte blend. White Shark Chai™ combines quality Bai Mudan white tea, organic spices, with a gentle bite of black pepper to complement the bright citrus notes. White Shark Chai™, distinctly different from the rest of our Endangered Species line, draws attention to our marine neighbors of the Farallon Islands, 26 miles off the coast of San Francisco.
Ingredients: Cane sugar, coconut oil, honey, maltodextrin, tapioca maltodextrin, white tea powder (3%), natural flavors, green tea powder (1%), sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural spice blend, black pepper, salt.
Type: Dry Powdered Chai Mix
Preparation Ratio: Add 1 teaspoon of mix to 6 ounces of milk, milk substitute, water, or combination thereof.
Additional Information: David Rio supports animal welfare groups including Cat Tales Zoological Park and The Peninnsula Human Society & SPCA. Back in 1999, to commemorate Tiger Spice Chai, they even adopted a Bengal tiger, named Odin. David Rio encourages everyone to make a difference in the life of an animal by supporting animal welfare groups and either adopting from or volunteering at your local Humane Society or SPCA. On an annual basis, David Rio is reducing its carbon emissions impact by over 25 tons and has removed over 30 tons of garbage from the waste stream--an integral part of David Rio's mission of becoming a green company.
TASTE-O-METER Rating
"David Rio Tiger Spice chai mix is a mild, fairly sweet chai with an interesting yet subtle combination of spices. The directions indicate mixing each packet with 6 ounces of water. Despite including powdered milk in the mix, this gives a bit thinner outcome than the mixes that call for milk (such as David Rio Power Chai and David Rio Organic Masala Chai). I personally would opt to mix Tiger Spice chai with half milk and half water for an ideal cup. While these David Rio chai mixes are all very good, balanced tasting chai, I cannot escape the feeling that they are almost 'dessert' drinks - even though they are not exceptionally sweet. Perhaps it is the richness and finely blended spice flavorings."
