This really isn’t like any other Masala Chai. This is a beautiful black tea enhanced with a rich blend of fresh spices. We have added these spices to lift, even higher, some truly delicious leaves, rather than disguise anything less than lovely.

Deliciously enlivening.

Hug in a Mug!

This is my perfect weekend morning relaxing hug in a mug! In the shadow of the Western Canadian Rocky Mountains a lazy spring Saturday morning morphs into a brisk afternoon after enjoying an indulgent Masala Chai. (And don’t get me started about my evening Masala Chai Martinis!). A good dollop of local organic milk followed by a soupçon of maple syrup tapped from my friend’s acres of trees in Quebec brings out the flavours of the eastern spices to transform a hot cup of chai into a truly international experience.

Delicious

I’ll be honest and say that I had pretty low expectations of this tea - most pre-mixed chai tend to be just an overly sweet concoction with bare hints of tea. This masala chai is fragrant with a definite tea flavor and delicious notes of masala. Love it and will be ordering on a regular basis!

Just the right level of spiciness

This tea is my favourite with some cake or biscuits. The spiciness of it is just right and not overpowering the wonderful black tea at its core. It's become a staple for Sundays in our house, and it loved by the whole family.

Shake well before use to distribute the spice and leaves evenly. Due to the size of the grind, some sediment from the spices may get through and we would suggest using the finest strainer you own.

Quantity

Use 0.09oz of leaf per 5.1fl oz of water (2.5g per 150ml).

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 176°F (80°C) water, or if you prefer it with milk use 212°F (100°C) water.

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

24¢ per cup based on 0.09oz of leaf per 5.1fl oz of water and 2 infusions.

If you want to make your Masala Chai, latte style - we recommend making a strong two-minute infusion of 60ml of boiling water with 2.5g of tea and then adding hot full fat milk.

You could also try infusing the tea in hot, full fat milk - fat carries flavour and is delicious - heat 2.5g of tea per 150ml of full fat milk until just below simmering point.

Falling in love with Chai...

Henrietta fell in love with Chai in Nepal on the way to visit the Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden...

"We stopped by the roadside and she made us a Chai so delicious that it changed my life forever. I asked to see the tea she was using and wasn't surprised, given the wonderful flavour, that it was a lovely loose leaf. Her tea was a far higher grade than you might have expected - way beyond what you would find in a UK bag. And this was woman in a road side hut with tarps for a roof and earth for a floor. It was the first Chai I had ever tasted that was made with real love and the best ingredients."

Many thanks to this tealady for inspiring Henrietta to blend her own version, that became our Rare Masala Chai.

Origin & Craft

Our Rare Masala Chai is a combination of hand-crafted black tea blended from harvests across a small, independent estate in the Shire Highlands of Malawi. We then blend in our own masala chai spice mix - created in London in very small batches to guarantee quality and flavour. Our spice mix is made up from ginger, green cardamom, black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon.
