Shurfine Black Tea (Chai Spice) — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Shurfine Black Tea (Chai Spice) by Shurfine MUNCH — score 80/90.

Actual chai: black tea plus five spices you could point to in a market — ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper. The only soft spot is 'natural flavors' doing quiet background work. For a store brand, this is the real thing.

Why this verdict

• Whole spices — ginger root, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper — not extracts or syrups
• Zero sugar, zero calories, zero preservatives
• Black tea base delivers antioxidants and caffeine and nothing else
• One minor ding: unspecified 'natural flavors' boosting the spice aroma
