Indulge in the rich, aromatic flavours of our Masala Chai Loose Leaf Black Tea.

Rooted in the centuries-old Indian chai tradition, this blend combines robust black tea with added cinnamon, ginger, fennel, aniseed, cloves, and cardamom.

The black tea base provides a deep, malty richness, while the spices add layers of warmth and complexity.

Cinnamon and ginger offer a gentle sweetness and warmth, cloves and aniseed bring a touch of spiced depth, and cardamom adds an aromatic, slightly citrusy note.

The addition of chicory root enhances the smoothness, rounding out the flavour.

Enjoy this Masala Chai in its purest form as a robust, spiced tea or elevate your experience by adding milk and a touch of sweetener for a creamy, indulgent Chai Latte.

For an authentic preparation, simmer the tea with milk and honey on the stovetop to create a rich, velvety cup that embodies the essence of traditional chai.

We also have an Indian Spiced Masala Chai, Pu-Erh Earth Chai, and also a caffeine-free Chai Rooibos Tea

History of Masala Chai Black Tea

Masala Chai originated in India as an Ayurvedic herbal drink before black tea was introduced by the British in the 19th century.

Locals began blending black tea with traditional spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, creating the spiced chai known today.

In the early 20th century, tea became more widespread in India, with vendors (chaiwallahs) selling Masala Chai on the streets.

The drink grew in popularity, combining black tea, milk, and spices for a flavourful, affordable beverage.

Today, Masala Chai is enjoyed worldwide, often served in traditional loose leaf form or as a Chai Latte.
