traditional vs. caffeine-free chai

While traditional “Masala Chai” is built on a base of strong black tea, we believe the magic of spices should be enjoyed at any time of day.
Black Tea Chai: Our classic blends use premium Assam or Kenyan black tea to provide a bold, malty base that stands up perfectly to vigorous spices and creamy milk.
Caffeine-Free Options: For those seeking a restorative evening brew, we offer caffeine-free alternatives like Tulsi Chai (Holy Basil) and Turmeric Chai. These botanical bases offer deep, earthy flavours and incredible wellness benefits without the wakefulness of caffeine.

what does chai taste like?

Chai is a symphony of “warm” spices. You will experience the initial heat of ginger and black pepper, followed by the sweet, aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.
When brewed with milk, the fats carry the essential oils of the spices, creating a creamy, velvety texture with a spicy kick that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

how to brew the perfect chai

For the best experience, Chai needs heat and time to allow the spices to fully “bloom.”
The Teapro Method: 3-5g of tea per 350ml of water.
Temperature: 100°C (Boiling)
Steep time: 5-7 minutes (Don’t be afraid to steep longer for a spicier brew!)
Traditional Stovetop: Simmer the tea and spices in a mix of water and milk (or plant milk) in a saucepan for 5 minutes, then sweeten with honey or jaggery.

what are the health benefits of chai?

Chai is a powerhouse of digestive support. Ginger and black pepper aid metabolism, while cardamom and cinnamon are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Our Tulsi Chai is particularly famous for its adaptogenic qualities, helping the body manage stress, while our Turmeric Chai provides a massive antioxidant boost to support joint health and immunity.

can I drink chai without milk?

While milk (dairy or oat) is traditional, many of our blends are refined enough to be enjoyed as a clear tea.
Brewing our Chai straight in hot water highlights the individual notes of the spices and the quality of the base tea, resulting in a lighter, more refreshing drink.

how should I store my chai?

Spices can lose their potency if exposed to air. Store your Chai in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.
Because Chai contains both tea leaves and dried spices, it is best enjoyed within 6-12 months to ensure the aromatics are at their peak.

is chai good for beginners?

Chai is often the “comfort food” of the tea world. If you find standard teas a bit plain, the explosion of flavour in a Masala Chai is a fantastic place to start.
If you are new to the category, try our Classic Masala Chai with a splash of oat milk and a touch of honey. If you’re looking for a healthy nightcap, the Turmeric Chai is an absolute game-changer for your sleep routine.
