Real Masala Chai Loose Leaf Tea 100g | 20 Cups

Description

♥ Real Masala Chai – Handmixed with fresh whole spices and pure Assam loose leaf tea ♥

This loose leaf masala is a combination of fresh whole spices and Assam loose leaf using a recipe that has been passed down through generations – none of that industrial mass made chai tea. I use this whole spice loose leaf tea to prepare tea at home everyday; this recipe was passed on to my mum by my grandma, and my mum then passed it on to me. Real Indian Masala Chai.

Masala chai is thought to have originated in a Royal court in India as an ayurvedic drink without caffeine. During long days at court, the King would sip the tea to stay alert. Over time, the British introduced tea leaves to the Indian subcontinent. However, as these were expensive, tea vendors would use left over tea leaves, sugar, milk and spices to brew a tea for the masses giving rise to the Masala Chai. Masala chai is now enjoyed throughout India and makes for a wonderful tea break.
