Chai

Description

A Slow-Simmered Fusion of Hand-Crushed Spices and Malty Assam

Our Masala Chai is a deeply comforting, multi-layered experience. We begin with a robust base of CTC Assam Black Tea, chosen for its ability to maintain a strong, malty backbone against the richness of milk and spices.

The soul of our chai lies in our house-made spice blend. We hand-crush green cardamom pods, spicy ginger root, cinnamon bark, cloves, and black peppercorns, simmering them together in small batches. This slow extraction allows the heat of the ginger and the sweetness of the cinnamon to fully integrate. We then combine this infusion with creamy, whole milk (or a barista-grade oat alternative) and a touch of unrefined jaggery to bring out a deep, molasses-like sweetness. It is a bold, fragrant, and soul-warming drink, served with a light dusting of freshly ground nutmeg.
