Insulated Chai Infuser Bottle – 16 oz

A simple way to make your chai when there isn't a stove nearby.

Add your chai blend and hot water, let it steep, then pour it into a cup with your favorite milk and sweetener. This personal-size insulated bottle makes it easy to bring chai to the office, a market, or wherever your day takes you.

For the richest, most authentic chai, we still recommend simmering it in a pot. This bottle is our convenient alternative for the times when you want to grab and go.

Made for longer steeping

The extra-long, enclosed stainless steel infuser keeps the chai mix contained while giving it plenty of time in the hot water. Unlike an infuser sitting in an open cup, the insulated bottle helps retain heat as your chai steeps.

The deep basket also reaches farther into the bottle, so you have more flexibility to make a smaller brew. Pour directly into your cup with the infuser in place—there's no separate straining step.

The details

• 16 fl oz capacity: a compact personal size with room for up to two 8 oz cups of brewed chai before adding milk.
• Approximate size: 8.8 inches tall with the lid and spout cap closed; the base is just under 3 inches in diameter.
• Weight: 322 g for the bottle with its lid and infuser
• Extra-long removable infuser: an enclosed stainless steel basket that keeps the chai mix together.
• Double-wall vacuum insulation: 18/8 stainless steel helps keep drinks hot or cold.
• BPA-free: with a black screw-on lid and carry loop.
• White powder-coated finish: with our Chai Chai Love logo laser-engraved near the base.
• Easy to bring along: a slim bottle that fits in a car cup holder.

How to brew your chai

1. Add your chai. Start with 1 tablespoon of Chai Chai Love per 8 oz of water. For a larger brew, use 2 tablespoons with up to 16 oz of water, leaving space for the infuser and lid. Put the chai mix in the infuser and secure its cover.
2. Add hot water. Add freshly boiled water from your kettle into the bottle first and then insert the infuser in the bottle. A hot-water dispenser at the office is another option readily available in office settings.
3. Give it time. Close the bottle and steep for at least 15 minutes. Leave the chai steeping longer if you enjoy a stronger, fuller spice flavor.
4. Pour and enjoy. Keep the enclosed infuser in place and pour into a cup. Add milk and your preferred sweetener to your cup when you're ready to drink.

Prefer your chai black? Enjoy it without milk, with a little honey or agave if you like. Might be too spicy for some. 

“I bring this along on busy farmers market days and use it at the office when I want an easy way to make chai. I often drink mine black with a little agave. At home, simmering it in a pot is still my favorite way.” — G, founder of Chai Chai Love

More than a chai bottle

Use the infuser with other loose-leaf or herbal teas, adjusting the water temperature and steeping time for your tea. Remove the infuser to use the bottle for water or other hot and cold drinks.
