About Chai Spice Tea
- Some of the finest black teas in the world come from India, the world's
leading producer of tea. Included in these teas are the robust "malty"
Assams, fine distinctive Darjeelings and well - balanced Nilgiris.
However, most tea consumed in India is not enjoyed for its fine, subtle
flavor nuances, but instead is blended with sweet and pungent spices to
make the popular beverage, "Chai". (Continued below)
Indian Chai is enjoyed in
cities and the smallest of villages, and usually is offered to every
visitor to a home. In Northern India, where Chai is the beverage of
choice, tiny tea stalls line the streets where all day long "chaiwallas"
(tea vendors) brew and serve tea.
Chai is usually brewed
very strong with lots of sugar and milk and often concentrated.
Traditional Indian Chai combines rich black tea that is boiled in milk and
flavored with local spices such as sweet cinnamon, sharp clove,
penetrating cardamom, and occasionally black peppercorns, pungent ginger
and hot red chilies, and sweetened with sugar. This spicy tea is brewed in
a samovar - type vessel and is always served very hot. Hurried customers
often pour a little Chai in the saucer to cool it before drinking.
For our interpretation of
this classic Indian drink, we blend rich, flavorful Indian black teas and
cinnamon, clove, ginger and cardamom. The brewed tea is very aromatic with
a flavor that is slightly sweet, strong and penetrating, with rich, full
bodied lingering flavor notes. This tea is very pleasant plain, or with
milk (regular or evaporated) and sugar added. It is exceptional any time
of day, as a rich morning cup, enjoyable dessert tea or as a special taste
treat. |
