VAHDAM Double Spice Masala Chai Loose Leaf Tea 3.53oz (50+ Cups) — Bold, Cardamom-Cinnamon Blend

Built from CTC black tea and a concentrated mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove and black pepper, this 3.53oz (100g) pouch yields more than 50 cups of intense masala chai. The loose-leaf format preserves leaf integrity and lets you control strength, milk and steep time for authentic stovetop or pot-brewed chai. Packed quickly at origin and vacuum-sealed in a triple-layer, resealable bag, the tea aims to stay fresh and flavorful while reflecting VAHDAM's direct-sourcing, farmer-focused approach.

How strong and spicy is this chai for everyday brewing?

This blend is intentionally robust—labeled "Double Spice" to indicate a higher concentration of spices versus standard masala chai. Expect a pronounced peppery warmth and spice-forward aroma that stands up well to milk and sweeteners.

• High spice-to-tea ratio suitable for milk-based chai and bold black tea lovers
• CTC black tea base offers quick color and strong flavor extraction
• Adjustable strength: reduce leaf quantity or steep time for milder cups
• Recommended brew: 2g leaf per 200ml water at 100°C, 3–5 minutes

What makes this loose-leaf chai different from bagged chai mixes?

Loose-leaf tea keeps larger tea particles and whole spice fragments, which preserve essential oils and layered aromas better than pre-ground tea dust. That translates into fresher taste, greater control over infusion and a richer mouthfeel.

• Whole loose leaf and visible spice pieces for fuller aroma and flavor
• Vacuum-sealed within 24–72 hours of plucking to lock in garden-fresh character
• Resealable, moisture-resistant pouch extends shelf life after opening
• Brewing flexibility for stovetop, teapot, or infusion strainer methods

How should I prepare and store this chai for best results?

Simple stovetop brewing or a strong black-tea steep works best to extract the spice profile; adding milk and sweetener is optional but commonly used to balance intensity. Proper storage keeps the aroma intact and prevents moisture absorption.

• Measure 2g of loose leaf per 200ml water; boil at 100°C and steep 3–5 minutes
• For milk chai: simmer tea and milk together briefly, then sweeten to taste
• Keep pouch sealed, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Use a fine mesh infuser or cloth strainer to capture spice pieces when pouring
