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 here in London in very small batches to guarantee quality and flavour. Our spice mix is made up from ginger, green cardamom, pepper, cloves and cinnamon.
Quantity
Use 2.5g of tea per 150ml of water.
Temperature
For the optimum infusion use 90°C (194°F) water.
Time
Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.
For our Masala Chai, we grind our own spices - shake well before use to distribute the spice & leaves evenly. Due to the size of the grind, some sediment from the spices may get through and we'd suggest to use finest strainer you own.
If you want to make your Masala Chai, latte style - we recommend making a strong two minute infusion of 60ml water with 2.5g of tea and then adding hot full fat milk.
You could also try infusing in hot, full fat milk - fat carries flavour and is delicious - heat 2.5g of tea in 150ml of full fat milk until just below simmering point.
