Our regular tea on its own is amazingly refreshing, but when it is brewed with fresh spices & herbs – they take its magic to another level. So, these are the 5 most popular flavors that give garam Chai a unique appeal.
1. Spices [Masala]
Spices such as Clove, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Tulsi, and Saunth – are used to give the tea a distinct flavor. They are added in precise quantities and powdered before using. At Tea Post, we use our own signature Masala Blend to create a consistent Masala Chai experience.
2. Ginger [Adrak]
Fresh Ginger is one of the most common ingredients used for flavored Chai because it is easily available throughout the country. It is cut into small pieces, crushed in mortar & pestle, and added to the brewing pot while making tea.
3. Mint [Pudina]
Mint Leaves are added while making the tea, and they are also used to garnish the cup of tea while serving. Mint leaves give a very cool & refreshing flavor to the tea, and it is usually mixed with other spices & herbs to create a unique texture.
4. Cardamom [Elaichi]
Elaichi Pods are used as a whole, and they are crushed in mortar & pestle before adding to the brewing teapot. The covers of cardamom pods are filtered out using a sieve. Elaichi gives Chai a mildly fruity and dreamy flavor that brings you in good mood instantly.
5. Saffron [Kesar]
Kesar is one of the most costly spices in the world. It is sourced from authentic Saffron cultivators in Jammu & Kashmir. Even in minute quantities, Kesar creates an amazing taste and aroma that linger on for a long time. Every sip of Kesar Tea is worth its price.
