Almost every masala chai on a shelf is tea dust plus spice oil sprayed on afterwards. It smells enormous in the packet and disappears in the cup.

We do it the tedious way. Cardamom from Idukki, ginger dried and cracked, Lakadong turmeric, cassia-free cinnamon, cloves, and Tellicherry pepper — all ground on a slow stone wheel that does not heat the spice and drive off its oil. Blended fresh into orthodox Assam and tinned within the hour.

It smells modest in the tin. Then you brew it.

Orthodox Assam black tea, green cardamom, dried ginger, cinnamon bark, clove, black pepper, Lakadong turmeric, star anise.

Worth the price, twice over

The masala chai ruined every other chai for me, which is annoying and expensive. It smells like almost nothing in the tin and then completely takes over the house when it hits the water. The salt tip in the leaflet is real.

Sceptical, then converted

What convinced me was the lab report. I looked up my batch number expecting a generic PDF and got an actual NABL report with my batch on it. That is the first time an Indian food brand has done that for me.

What the same kitchen usually buys.

Chosen because they actually work alongside the stone-ground masala chai — not because an algorithm said so.
