Description

Sourced from:
Assam Tea

Louise the tea taster says

This chilli chai is a twist on our traditional chai, a recipe that has been the Indian drink of choice for centuries. Alongside the assam tea, cardamom pods, chunks of ginger, cinnamon and vanilla, we have added flakes of chilli for an extra fiery kick. This chai is for those of you who don't order korma and plain naan from your local curry house.

How does it taste?

A gutsy assam tea with exotic spices and an extra fiery kick at the end.

Good if you're feeling

in need of a little fire and spice in your life.

	Naturally contains caffeine
	Our whole leaf temples are better than the dust in your regular tea bag!

How we like it

Brew Time

Boiling Water
Brew for 3+ minutes

Tea temple - 1 per person. Infuse in boiling water. Brew for 3+ minutes.

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

How we like it

Hot - extra long infusion, lots of milk and a little sugar or honey.

Reviews

Mmmm... warming

Feeling a lot better on a bad day after a lovely cup of chilli chai - more warming than a normal tea and after reading up on the anti-inflammatory properties of chilli, cinnamon and ginger might even help my poor ribs to mend faster!

Wish I'd put a whole pack in with my last order instead of a teapiglet.

Lovely but need to turn up the fire

This is one of my favourites if I make it black. I tried it with milk and sugar, but I found that the flavour wasn't strong enough to stand up against the milk.

Even black, I can't taste the chili, but it leaves a lovely warm residual feeling in the mouth after you swallow it. I think it could do with a touch more of chili, since that's what we're expecting when we buy it! Keep up the good work teapigs!

Beautiful!

A beautiful chai tea, I put off buying this thinking the spice of the chilli would ruin the flavour but all it does is add more! Absolutely love it, particularly for winter nights :)

a bit disappointing

Not as nice as the ordinary chai - there was a rather bitter undertaste, and I couldn't taste the chili. I'd drink it if were given it to me, but I won't be buying any.

Masala Tea

This is exactly what they serve in India and Nepal as Chiya or Chai, (masala tea). Tastes of cloves more than chili, and is a very odd taste, but quite palatable. With milk and sugar is how it should be drunk properly! Think sweet curry smell...
