One sunny summer afternoon, as our Buyer was checking out at her neighborhood Trader Joe’s, she was struck by a fresh idea, inspired by the assortment of mints before her: why not try chai? Specifically, if TJ’s Green Tea Infused Mints are our best-selling breath mints, why not try translating another Tea into Mint form? And thus, Trader Joe’s Chai Tea Mints were born. Much like the real McCoy, Trader Joe’s Chai Tea Mints are made with black tea and crushed cardamom seeds, plus cinnamon, clove, and ginger natural flavors. We’ve also added a bit of peppermint oil for a cooling, freshening effect, because, you know... breath mints. Like their Green Tea counterparts, they’re shaped like tiny tea leaves and come packed in conveniently portable tins. Pick one up today, put it in your purse or pocket, then pop a Mint whenever your mouth needs a touch of sweet, cooling-yet-cozy Chai Tea flavor.
