Tea Blend – Masala Chai

4.8 from 3000+ customers across Australia — read our Google reviews

This is the chai we pour at the counter, jarred. Black tea leaves blended in small batches with peppercorn, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel, rose petals and a few threads of saffron — whole spices you can see through the glass, not a dust.

Boiled hard with milk the way it is meant to be, it comes out the colour of terracotta: cardamom and rose first on the nose, then pepper and clove warming the back of the throat, and a faint sweetness from the fennel before the sugar even goes in. It holds up to milk instead of disappearing under it.

The perfect cup, straight off the jar: add 10g — two full teaspoons — to 250ml of water. Add ginger and sugar to your liking. Add 150ml of milk and let it boil away. Twelve cups to the jar.

What is in it: black tea leaves, peppercorn, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel, rose petals, saffron. Small batch. Gluten free. 125g glass jar.

For a chai-time gift, pair it with a box of mathi or a slab of besan burfi — the way it is actually drunk — and everything arrives in one parcel. Bring India home: the kitchen smells of cardamom before the first cup is poured.

The perfect cup

Guideline only — the jar is yours to make stronger.

1. Put 250ml of water in a small pan with 10g of the blend (two full teaspoons).

2. Grate in a little fresh ginger and add sugar to your liking. Bring it to a rolling boil.

3. Pour in 150ml of milk. Let it rise, drop the heat, and let it boil away for a minute or two until it turns the colour of terracotta.

4. Strain into a glass and drink it hot. For a pot, scale everything up in the same ratio.

Twelve cups to the jar.

Ingredients: black tea leaves, peppercorn, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel, rose petals, saffron.

  • Cardamom and rose — the scent that reaches you first.
  • Peppercorn and cloves — the warmth at the back of the throat.
  • Cinnamon and fennel — a rounded sweetness under the sugar.
  • Saffron — a few threads for colour and depth.

Small batch. Gluten free. Net 125g. Packed by Pure Desi Pty Ltd, 1/6 McCormack St, Arndell Park NSW 2148.

Values are for the dry blend as packed, before milk and sugar.

  • Keep the lid screwed tight and the jar in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove. Heat and light take the scent out of the cardamom first.
  • Use a dry spoon every time — steam from the pan is the enemy of loose tea.
  • Not the fridge.
  • The best-before date is printed on the jar.
