Jetpackkratom Chai Tea is a ready-to-brew tea bag blend that combines traditional Indian masala chai with a measured 65mg dose of mitragynine — the main alkaloid in kratom (Mitragyna speciosa). Each 4g bag steeps in 3–5 minutes and delivers the warming spice of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom alongside kratom's signature stimulant character, minus the bitter aftertaste that puts most people off plain kratom powder.
Why this kratom chai tea actually works
Most people who try kratom powder once never try it again. The flavour is famously rough — bitter, earthy, vaguely medicinal — and "toss and wash" is the kind of thing you do because you have to, not because you want to. Jetpackkratom's solution is the obvious one nobody else bothered with: hide the kratom inside a tea blend that already tastes brilliant.
Masala chai is a strong starting point. Black tea handles the bitterness, the spices carry the aroma, and the warmth of ginger and black pepper genuinely pairs with mitragynine's stimulating side. At 65mg of mitragynine per bag, you're in the low-to-moderate stimulant range — the kind of dose traditionally taken in Southeast Asia for daytime energy rather than sedation. According to a review of kratom pharmacology (Prevete et al., 2023, PMC10846393), mitragynine acts on opioid, adrenergic, and serotonin receptors, with low doses generally associated with stimulant-type effects and higher doses with sedative ones.
What we like about this format: dosing is fixed. One bag, 65mg, every time. No measuring spoons, no guessing whether your tablespoon was heaped or level. That predictability matters more than people realise — most kratom dosing inconsistency comes from sloppy measurement, not from the leaf itself.
What's in the bag
Each 4g tea bag contains a blend of black tea, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black pepper, cardamom, rose petals, and liquorice root, with 65mg of mitragynine sourced from Mitragyna speciosa.

How 65mg of mitragynine compares
For context: research by Singh et al. (2014) reported that a single dose of traditional kratom drink in Malaysia averaged 79mg of mitragynine, with a typical daily intake around 276.5mg across multiple servings. A 65mg bag sits just below that single-serving average — comfortable territory for a daytime cup, not heroic, not negligible.
| Format | Typical mitragynine content |
|---|---|
| Traditional kratom drink (Malaysia, single serving) | ~79mg (Singh et al., 2014) |
| Jetpackkratom Chai Tea (1 bag) | 65mg |
| 1g of average kratom leaf powder | ~10–20mg |
How to brew it
- Boil fresh water and let it settle for 30 seconds — you want it hot, not violently boiling.
- Place one tea bag in a mug (around 200–250ml).
- Pour the water over the bag and cover the mug with a saucer to keep the aromatics in.
- Steep for 3 minutes for a lighter cup, or up to 5 minutes for a stronger, spicier brew.
- Squeeze the bag gently against the side of the mug before removing — this releases more of the spice oils.
- Optional: add a splash of milk or oat milk and a teaspoon of honey, masala-chai style. The fat in milk smooths the spice.
Stick to one bag per session. If you've never had kratom before, drink half the cup first and wait 45 minutes before deciding whether to finish it. Mitragynine onset varies between people, and the cardinal rule of kratom is the same as it is for everything else we sell: it's easier to take more than to take less.
From our counter: who this is for
This is the kratom product we hand to people who walked in saying "I tried kratom powder once and it was disgusting." It's also good for people who already drink chai daily and want something with a bit more lift than caffeine alone. The format is travel-friendly — pop a couple of bags in a tin, brew at the hotel kettle, done.
It's less suitable if you're chasing high-dose kratom effects. At 65mg per bag, this is a daytime stimulant tea, not a sedative dose. If you want the heavier end of kratom, you're better off with loose powder where you can scale the dose. The chai format trades flexibility for convenience and flavour — that's the deal.
Honest limitations
Two things to flag. First, kratom isn't a free lunch. According to a review on kratom health effects (Eastlack et al., 2020, PMC9130800), regular high-dose use has been associated with cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological and psychiatric effects, and tolerance/dependence can develop with daily use. The Mayo Clinic and NCCIH have both flagged safety concerns around kratom, particularly when combined with other substances. Treat this like coffee, not like water — occasional use, not a daily habit.
Second, the chai flavour is dominant. If you don't like cloves or black pepper, you won't like this tea. There's no way around it — the spices are doing the heavy lifting on masking the kratom.
Safety notes
Don't combine kratom with opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, or other CNS depressants — research on kratom's pharmacology shows it acts on opioid receptors among other targets (Prevete et al., 2023), and stacking depressants is where most serious kratom incidents have occurred. Avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on prescription medications without checking with a doctor first. Not for under-18s. If you have a history of substance dependence, kratom is not for you.
Pairs well with: a proper ceramic teapot if you want to brew two bags for sharing, or our range of loose-leaf kratom powders if you decide you want more control over dosing. If you're more curious about the chai side than the kratom side, our caffeine-free herbal tea selection covers the spice profile without the alkaloid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How strong is one bag compared to kratom powder?
One bag contains 65mg of mitragynine, which is roughly the alkaloid content of 3–6g of average kratom leaf powder (kratom powder typically contains 1–2% mitragynine). It sits in the low-to-moderate stimulant range for most people.
Can I steep one bag twice?
You can, but the second cup will be much weaker — most of the mitragynine extracts in the first 3–5 minute steep. Treat the second brew as a flavoured tea, not a second dose.
Will it taste like kratom?
Not really. The masala chai blend — cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, black pepper — dominates the flavour. You might catch a faint herbal note underneath, but the bitterness of plain kratom is largely covered.
How long do the effects last?
Kratom effects typically last 2–5 hours depending on dose, individual metabolism, and whether you've eaten. Onset is usually 20–40 minutes after drinking. Drinking on an empty stomach hits faster and harder.
Can I drink it every day?
We wouldn't. Daily kratom use is associated with tolerance and dependence according to a clinical review by Prozialeck et al. (2023, PMC10177737). Save it for occasions when you actually want the boost — once or twice a week at most.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes — the base is black tea, which naturally contains caffeine (roughly 40–70mg per cup depending on steep time). That works with the mitragynine for a clean daytime lift.
