Steep for a minute or two for a mellower brew, or longer for a potent, spicier chai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story Behind this Chai's Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScheherazade is the heroine of One Thousand and One Nights. (And it's also the name of Nuxalbari Tea Estate's owner's favorite horse!) Scheherazade creatively avoids death at the hands of King Sheheryar (after finding out his last wife was unfaithful) by telling him a tantalizing story the first night of their marriage. Rather than finish the story, she strategically stops the story on a cliffhanger, forcing the king to let her live another day to finish her story the next night. This goes on for one thousand and one nights, after which the king has fallen in love with Scheherazade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShai is the Arabic variation of the word chai, meaning tea. As you drink this shai, imagine yourself galloping upon the back of a fine horse in a polo match, or immersed in a gripping folk tale from One Thousand and One Nights!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndia's Nuxalbari Tea Estate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black tea in this blend comes from Nuxalbari Tea Estate, located at the foothills of the Himalaya. Imagine towering peaks, known to challenge anyone who dares climb up toward the mountains. However, at the base of the Himalaya lies another challenge: elephants and humans competing for habitat. Nuxalbari's mission is to allow peaceful passage of elephants through the tea estate by replanting much of the farm into elephant habitat. We encourage you to consider the obstacles elephants face while drinking this tea. By sourcing tea from Nuxalbari, we want to promote their work of helping Asian Elephants find respite and safe passage at the tea estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea comes from a farm owned by a woman, an uncommon phenomenon in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA made in Montana tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lake Missoula Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"Regular 150g (≈60 cups)","offer_id":52413586735393,"sku":"CHI-3306-QQ","price":18.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 75g (≈30 cups)","offer_id":52413586702625,"sku":"CHI-3306-RR","price":11.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 300g (≈120 cups)","offer_id":52413586768161,"sku":"CHI-3306-EE","price":32.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bulk 500g (≈200 cups)","offer_id":52413586800929,"sku":"CHI-3306-DD","price":52.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/6373\/2513\/files\/758c6ba0-Product-Scheherazade-Shai-1920.jpg?v=1772645038","url":"https:\/\/lakemissoulateacompany.com\/products\/scheherazade-shai","provider":"Lake Missoula Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
