Masala Chai - 100g

This is not just for show – we handcrush spices to bring out the authenticity of this masala chai. Also note our use of the proper tea base for masala chai – an Assam CTC to give it the strength it needs to take on milk well. At last, a chai worthy of the title ‘Masala’! This is the authentic recipe for Indian spiced tea combining both ground and hand-crushed whole spices with a robust Assam tea for strength and colour in milk. Warming, tantalising, and highly addictive – the ultimate spiced chai.
