We present you, the soul of India. This is the chai the country runs on, full of aromatic spices finely blended with strong CTC from Assam. Nourished with the goodness of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove and black pepper, this tea is found in every corner of India for the warmth and energy it provides.
Strange VariaTEA TTB #23
After a week of unseasonably warm weather here in Wisconsin, temperatures have plummeted and fall is here! Grey, chilly weather just screams chai latte to me, so I grabbed this one from the box and steamed up some milk to go with it…and was shocked by how much I enjoyed it! Maybe it just hit the spot so well for the mood I was in, but this came across as a perfectly balanced chai blend: lots of flavor, but not too spicy and not too sweet. There’s enough left in the bag for another latte or two and I may be hanging on to it for the winter…
Flavors: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Spices
Sipdown (2328)!
This is honestly a super respectable Masala blend. The spices are super well balanced, clearly pretty high quality and the black tea base is brisk and full bodied. I do like the cardamom and cinnamon that cut through a bit stronger (to me, anyway) than the rest of the notes, but honestly as nice as I think the blend itself is… it’s just not really my usual style. I don’t drink a lot of traditional Chai at all.
So, for that reason, I’m adding this one into the TTB I’ve been sipping away at for the last few weeks – hopefully it brings someone else the joy it doesn’t quite spark for myself.

This is legitimately the best masala chai I’ve ever had that I haven’t mixed myself. A teaspoon simmered for 5 minutes in a cup of unsweetened rice milk makes a substantial cup. Strong base CTC, the strong, fresh!! spices in the nose hold up in the mouth. Mostly sweet, herbal-citrusy cardamom, balanced by some dry ginger, woody cinnamon and I’m pretty sure black peppercorn. Spicy but no burn. The clove serves as a soft undertone for me. It’s not glaring like it can so often be. I’d say this is a masala chai for cardamom lovers like me! Perfect when paired with a small, hearty breakfast.
Thank you for the generous sample, Ketlee :)
Box one of those mornings up for me! We did have enough ground fog this morning, briefly, to convince a couple of deer (little does) that it was safe to come visit the creek bank for breakfast.
We have a rainy day after a few days when it was sunny and muggy; so rainy day was here welcomed too. Coastal foggy morning sounds perfect for taking photos… daydreaming again about my US visit. And well… shipping is only thing that says no to order from Ketlee.in
Oh nice! I love using CTC when I make homemade chai or add some to tea I plan on adding milk to. It holds up to creamers so well.
Sound like fall dropped in on a lot of us this weekend! (Remind me how much I’m enjoying this in February when I’m begging for spring.)
The fall weather is supposed to hit here by the wee hours of the morning!
