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.
