Chai: The Masala Tea

Refreshing and delightfully milky are often the two adjectives that go hand in hand when describing a hot cup of chai. The word ‘chai’ dates back to 16th century India when it commanded courtrooms as the prime beverage savored by emperors while they relaxed in their sun-kissed gardens.

Simply put, Indian Masala chai is the perfectly blended concoction of tea leaves and spices that come together to create a delightfully flavorful and aromatic drink. Spices like cardamom, ginger, tulsi (holy basil), and cinnamon are used in unique combinations to concoct aromatic brews or masala teas that can appease the palate of even the pickiest tea-drinkers.

  

The Indian Chai Journey

No matter what masala chai tea leaves you choose to steep, whether from the hills of Darjeeling, the lowlands of Assam, or those harvested from the Nilgiri range, every loose leaf chai tea cup brings you a rich, distinct taste.

Chai, particularly the ones from the plantations of Darjeeling, offers a light-colored infusion and a fresh, flowery aroma. This much-vaunted classic has a certain astringency and musky spiciness that sets it apart from the horde of commercial tea leaves that flood the market.

The Assamese chai, meanwhile, grown near sea level, showcases a bright color and a malty flavor, which makes it a perfect accompaniment to a light breakfast and one of the best chai teas.

On the other hand, the chai tea flavors of tea leaves harvested from the Nilgiris are known to have an intensely strong aroma.

  

Fresh Healthy Tea at Your Fingertips

Indian Chai tea, packed with all the medicinal values of the spices used, offers a healthy cup of goodness.

For instance, black tea, which forms the base for most chai blends, is rich in antioxidants which are thought to prevent cardiovascular ailments. Other additions like lime and cardamom are known to assist in fighting indigestion, improving blood circulation, and combatting respiratory problems.

Our chais collection showcases the best of Indian Chai teas with the Punjabi Masala Chai from the north, Kolkata Street Chai and Assam Masala Chai from the east, Bombay Cutting Chai from the west, and Wayanad Cardamom Chai from the south.
