Big Train Spiced Chai Tea Latte Mix is a dry powder built for consistent flavour in professional service. It replaces scratch-made chai without the spice blend, simmer time, or strain step. New hires can pull a passable cup on day one, which matters when you're short-staffed on a Saturday rush.

Operator's Tip · Jamie, Concession & Event Specialist
"Big Train Spiced Chai is the traditional-chai SKU for cafes that want the full cardamom-cinnamon-pepper profile. A Toronto cafe told us: 'Spiced Chai is what our chai-savvy customers order. Big Train's spice blend doesn't taste artificial.' 3.5 lb, 4/case format."
Dry powder means no cold chain on the bagged mix itself. For vending and convenience store operators, that cuts date-coding waste when traffic is unpredictable. Pour, mix, serve. It slots into your beverage line without adding prep stations.
Quality & specifications
Four 3.5 lb bags per case. The grind is fine enough to dissolve in cold milk without leaving grit at the bottom. Works hot, iced, or blended without changing your scoop ratio.
Beverage service applications
Use it for hot chai, iced chai, and frozen blended chai. It also works as a base for chai dessert sauces or as a flavour shot in mocha-style drinks. The 3.5 lb format handles volume at concert venues and conference coffee breaks.
Storage & handling
Store in a cool, dry spot away from humidity. Reseal the bag tight after each use or the powder clumps and picks up off-flavours from anything stored next to it. Check the date code on the case before you stack it deep.
