Story Behind This Chai

In Mumbai, chai isn’t just a drink — it’s the heartbeat of the city. From crowded trains to monsoon-soaked streets, every “cutting” fuels a story, a deal, or a day. Our Bombay Cutting Chai captures that spirit with a bold base of Assam CTC tea, spiced with ginger for warmth, cardamom for fragrance, and fennel for a hint of sweetness.

Strong, spicy, and unforgettable — it’s the taste of Mumbai in a glass.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

What do you mean by CTC tea?

CTC stands for Crush, Tear, Curl — a method used to process black tea leaves into small, hard pellets. This style of tea produces a stronger, brisker brew that pairs perfectly with milk and spices, making it ideal for authentic Indian chai.

What is Masala Chai?

Masala Chai is India’s signature spiced tea — a mix of strong black tea and aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper, brewed with milk and sugar for a warm, comforting cup.

Why is it called ‘Cutting Chai’?

In Mumbai, chai is often served in small glasses — a “cutting,” or half portion, just enough to refresh and get you going. It’s quick, strong, and shared often — a symbol of everyday connection.

What gives this chai its unique flavor?

The malty Assam CTC base brings strength, while ginger adds heat, cardamom adds aroma, and fennel brings a gentle sweetness — together, they capture Mumbai’s fast-paced yet flavorful rhythm.

Does this chai contain caffeine?

Yes. It contains about 30–50 mg of caffeine per cup, providing a gentle energy boost without being overpowering.

How is this chai different from other flavored chais in the market?

Most flavored chais rely on artificial essences for taste. Our Bombay Cutting Chai is made with real whole spices and fresh Assam tea, blended in small batches and vacuum-sealed for authentic flavor, freshness, and aroma — just like chai from a Mumbai tapri.

Can I enjoy this chai without milk?

Yes, though it’s traditionally brewed with milk. Without milk, it tastes spicier and more robust, highlighting ginger and fennel notes beautifully.

Are there any added flavors or preservatives?

No. This chai is 100% natural, made only with real tea and spices — no artificial colors or flavoring.

Why does freshness matter in chai?

Freshness defines the cup. Our teas are vacuum-sealed at source to stay protected from light, oxygen, moisture, and heat, ensuring every sip is as aromatic and flavorful as freshly blended chai.

How do I store my chai to maintain freshness?

Store it in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid strong odors, as tea easily absorbs surrounding scents.
