Description

Chai Tea Assam Tea Sourced from:
Assam Tea

Louise the tea taster says

Every vendor, in every city, in every region of India, offers their own version of Chai Masala, the aromatic, spiced, milky tea that has been the Indian drink of choice for hundreds of years. Here’s our version: a rich, malty Assam tea blended with cardamom pods, cinnamon, ginger and cassia. A satisfying, healthy drink that captures the vibrancy and colour of India in a cup.

How does it taste?

A gutsy Assam tea and an exotic mix of whole spices for a true taste of India.

Good if you're feeling

half-asleep. This tea will boost the awake half, and give the sleepy half a resounding slap around the chops.

How we like it & Recipes

Brew Time

  • boiling_water
    Boiling Water
  • brew_for_3_minutes
    Brew for 3+ minutes
  • Tea temple - 1 per person. Infuse in boiling water. Brew for 3+ minutes.
  • Loose tea - 1 rounded teaspoonful per person. Brew for 3+ minutes.

Whole leaves take longer to brew, but the little wait is definitely worth it.

 

How we like it

Authentic - brewed for a long time, add milk and sugar (or honey) to add some sweetness.

 

Iced

Just cover one tea temple with boiling water and infuse for 3 minutes. Remove temple and top-up glass with iced water. 

Recipes

Warm up with a cosy chai latte, it's really easy to do at home and we even sell a kit to get you started 
  • Simply take 1 tea temple and pop into your mug. 
  • 1/3 fill the mug with boiling water and allow to brew for 5 minutes
  • Top with hot frothy milk and add a dash of honey to taste.
  • Yum yum.

Delicious

Totally addicted to this tea - I used to save it as a special treat, but now I drink more of it than my usual Earl Grey. It's the closest thing to real chai I've tasted. I just add milk and it's perfect!

Nicley spiced but the tea wasn't strong enough

I was expecting this to be a robust cup of black tea with spice, but despite leaving the bag in for quite a while it never acheived the stregnth I was anticipating. Nice if you like your tea weak p'raps.

The best!

I am an avid chai lover, mostly going for chai lattes in cafes and making them at home with a powder mix. I have tried many chai teas, hoping for a lower in fat, yet just as tasty alternative! Well boys and girls this is it! Add a little milk n sweetener and we have a tasty, low fat, tummy warmer. Have yet to try a 'teapigs chai latte', but Im sure it wont be long! Just a lovely taste, with a nice balance of the spices/herbs...not overpowering clove which all the rest seem to have. ThankYou teapigs! :)

Fabulous!

Love this so much that when I ran out today I actually went out in the bitterly cold and snowy Manchester weather to buy new supplies. Loving it without any additions, can taste each individual spice.
