Original Masala Chai

Original Masala Chai

Masala chai, at its best, is not loud. It is layered, structured, and deeply comforting. This is our reference chai — built around whole-leaf Assam tea and blended with a restrained selection of premium spices chosen to support the tea rather than overpower it. Each cup develops a rich amber color, a rounded mouthfeel, and a long, warming finish.

Designed to be brewed traditionally with milk, this chai rewards patience and intention.

Packaged in a 150g premium tube, it offers more tea than standard blends while preserving freshness between brews.

Why Chai Is More Than a Drink — It’s a Ritual

  • Whole-leaf Assam tea

    We start with intact Assam tea leaves for structure, body, and clarity — never broken leaf or dust.

  • Premium spices, used with restraint

    Cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, clove, and black pepper are layered to support the tea, not overwhelm it.

  • No added flavors. No sweeteners.

    Nothing artificial. No pre-sweetened shortcuts. You control the cup.

  • Built for milk

    This chai is designed to be simmered with milk, developing a rich texture and a long, warming finish.

More than a drink

Chai has always been a pause — a moment woven into daily life.

At Chai Rituals, we believe chai deserves time and attention.

Not instant mixes. Not syrups. Not shortcuts.

We return to a slower method: tea and spices simmered together, milk added with care, sweetness chosen by the drinker.

This is how chai becomes a ritual again.
