Chai is such an integral part of Indian culture. It is typically made using a rich Black Assam Tea and brewing it in heavy or fatty milk with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper. This ancient method produces a warm soothing effect when drank, and a wonderfully calming effect on the body is consumed thereafter.
Adding vanilla extracts creates a sweet, musky tone, and with just the right amount of spice to remind you it’s a Chai, it is incredibly moreish and is often drank to replace a dessert, after a meal.
Assam tea is often described as having a malty flavour and a rich, savoury aroma. These distinct features are typically attributed to the tea’s unique production process. Which is why we choose Assam tea when blending our Vanilla Chai with exquisite Ceylon tea from the finest Tea growers in Sri Lanka (Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva).
