Healing spices like ginger and cardamom were steeped specifically to stimulate digestion, improve circulation, and boost energy. It wasn't until the 19th century, when black tea cultivation grew across Assam, that the traditional black tea base was introduced to the mix. Street vendors — known lovingly across India as Chaiwalas — perfected the recipe by boiling the tea, milk, and spices together into a rich, sweet, comforting street beverage. By brewing this blend today, you are participating in a timeless ritual of warmth and hospitality shared by millions daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiery Ginger:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bold, invigorating kick that brings vibrant heat to the palate, stimulates digestion, and offers a sharp, cleansing brightness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Cassia:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, sweet-spice undertones that layer the cup with a comforting, familiar woodsy warmth and rich aromatic depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardamom Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e A highly aromatic, complex herbal accent featuring subtle hints of citrus and eucalyptus that rounds out the blend with a luxurious, exotic finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel \u0026amp; Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust, full-bodied, heavily aromatic, with a lingering, deeply warming sweet-spice finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It's Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Whole Spices:\u003c\/strong\u003e We use cracked cardamom pods and crushed cassia bark rather than ground powders to ensure maximum essential oils for a richer flavour that never turns cloudy or powdery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisual Elegance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch the rich amber liquor deepen alongside whole spices — perfectly suited for glass teapots and magnetic infusers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePure \u0026amp; Clean:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% natural, non-GMO, and completely free from artificial flavourings, syrups, or chemical additives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScoop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use 1–2 teaspoons of loose leaf blend (or 1 premium silk pyramid bag) per cup into your infuser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add freshly boiled water at 100°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infuse for 5 to 7 minutes to fully draw out the dense essential oils of the cassia and cardamom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Traditional Touch:\u003c\/strong\u003e For an authentic street-style chai, simmer the brew with equal parts fresh whole milk (or oat milk) and sweeten generously with brown sugar or honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Black Tea, Ginger, Cassia Cinnamon, Cardamom Pods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (Natural black tea base).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto-Friendly, Non-GMO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco-friendly, heat-sealed, resealable pouch to preserve freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"25 Pyramid Teabags","offer_id":53733853790535,"sku":"705975","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Loose Leaf","offer_id":53733846843719,"sku":"705987","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/0579\/9751\/files\/No_weight_d1d5514a-0dda-422e-b310-b811229194e4.png?v=1779289226","url":"https:\/\/www.emberolivecoffee.shop\/products\/the-indian-spiced-chai-masala","provider":"Ember \u0026 Olive Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
