Most chai blends start with CTC tea, small pellets made for speed and strength. Chai Rituals begins with premium whole Assam tea leaves.
The result is a smoother, fuller-bodied cup with natural sweetness, layered spice and a clean finish. Brew it on the stove with milk, the traditional way.

“I’ve been a big fan of Chai Rituals for a while now! I’ve tried both the Cardamom and Masala and love them both. What I love most is that it actually tastes like the chai we make at home. I recently tried their chai leaves as well and loved those too. I’ve been having Chai Rituals for so long now that it’s become part of my everyday routine. My own little chai ritual.”

“The packaging was beautifully done…you can tell real care went into it. The personalized stickers and wrapping felt classy. The tea itself was excellent; you can taste that both the spices and the leaves are premium quality. The one thing I wasn’t sure about was how much tea to use per serving, a little guidance there would help. I haven’t tried the samples yet, but overall it has a very Whole Foods vibe and the quality really shows.”
