LUXMI Vanilla Spice Chai Loose-Leaf Black Tea 100g Tin — Kerala Whole-Leaf, Five-Spice Blend

LUXMI Estates Vanilla Spice Chai is a full-leaf Kerala black tea blended with five whole masala spices and a hint of vanilla for a smooth, warmly spiced cup.

This loose-leaf chai recreates the slow-simmered masala chai tradition of South India using whole-leaf tea from Kerala’s high-elevation gardens and locally grown spices. Cardamom and cinnamon lead the flavor, ginger and cloves add warming depth, black pepper gives a bright finish, and vanilla lends a creamy, dessert-like sweetness even before milk is added. Packed at source in a resealable 100g tin, the blend delivers roughly 50 cups and remains traceable to Luxmi’s estates.

What makes this chai different from ordinary spiced teas?

Unlike powdered mixes or tea dust blends, this chai uses whole-leaf black tea and whole spices for layered, authentic flavor. The ingredients come from the same Kerala terroir as the tea, which concentrates regional aroma and freshness. The vanilla note is gentle, enhancing natural sweetness without adding sugar.

• Whole-leaf black tea from Kerala high-elevation gardens
• Five traditional whole spices: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black pepper
• Real vanilla for creamy sweetness, no artificial flavors
• Packed at source for farm-to-tin traceability

How should I brew it to get the best chai flavor?

This blend works well with both stovetop simmering and quick steep methods. For a traditional, full-bodied chai, simmer tea and spices in water and milk; for a lighter cup, steep in hot water then add warmed milk. It also makes concentrated syrup for lattes and chilled iced chai beverages.

• Stovetop: 1 tsp per cup, simmer in 1:1 water and milk for 4–5 minutes
• Quick brew: steep 1 tsp in 8 oz hot water for 4 minutes, add warm milk
• Concentrate: brew stronger (2–3 tsp) and dilute for lattes or iced chai
• Adjust sweetener to taste; no sugar included in the tin
