India's Original Masala Chai Tea
Originating from India, Masala Chai or 'Spiced Tea' is one of the most popular black tea blends in the world. This ancient traditional recipe is prepared by blending a strong & robust black tea with an array of fresh & aromatic spices. Our signature 'Masala Chai Spiced Tea' is symbolic of the original house blend which has been cherished in India for decades now. A combination of Assam CTC & orthodox leaves blended in a varying ratio is taken as the base. The base tea is then blended with exotic and fresh indian spices including crushed cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, long pepper, dry ginger and clove. Widely distinctive from the Chai tea blends produced in western countries, the original Indian masala chai tea blend stands out due the superior and distinctive properties of spices grown in India. This strong and full-bodied tea is characteristic of a slightly malty flavor with exotic flavor of fresh cardamoms combined with delicate notes of black pepper and clove. Traditionally prepared only with milk, Masala Chai can also be enjoyed and taken without milk. This expertly created blend is not only invigorating and delicious but also stimulates the mind and is known to increase immunity. A must have for all tea lovers.

A mediocre spiced tea
I found this in my 'best selling teas sampler' pack and I wasn't much excited about this particular tea because I don't add dairy to my tea. But nevertheless, I went ahead to make it.
The best part about the tea is that it smells really strong of fresh herbs and spices that go straight to your head.
Now, I made two versions of the tea- with and without milk.
With milk most of the flavours of the tea is masked or lost. Strong notes like those of ginger and cinnamon remain. But it tastes like an ordinary spicy tea. Nothing extraordinary at all.
Without milk, however, it was a different story. The flavours were much more prominent and you could make out the subtle clove flavors. But unfortunately, the spices were too strong for its own good. They completely overpowered the base tea.
So yeah.. In my opinion it is a good tea for spice cravers but not very balanced.
