Masala Chai Tea | Spiced Indian Black Tea Blend – Wags & Whiskers Coffee Co.

Ancient Spice. Modern Cup. Pure Magic.

In India, chai isn't just tea — it's a ritual. It's the sound of spices being ground, the smell of cardamom and ginger filling the kitchen, the warmth of a clay cup in your hands at dawn. Masala Chai has been brewed in Indian homes and street stalls for centuries, and every family has their own recipe. Ours is bold, spicy, aromatic, and deeply satisfying — a full-bodied cup that warms you from the inside out.

One sip and you'll understand why the whole world fell in love with chai.

What's Inside

• Indian Assam Black Tea (~50%) — the robust, malty backbone of every authentic Masala Chai; Assam's bold, full-bodied character and natural sweetness stand up beautifully to the spice blend and hold their own when simmered with milk — exactly as chai was meant to be made
• Ginger (~20%) — the heat and the heart; warming, pungent, and invigorating, ginger is the spice that gives Masala Chai its signature kick and its reputation as a digestive and immune-supporting powerhouse
• Cardamom (~15%) — the soul of the blend; fragrant, floral, and slightly sweet, cardamom is the most essential spice in Indian chai — the one that makes the aroma so intoxicating you can smell it from across the room
• Cinnamon (~8%) — warm, sweet, and deeply comforting; cinnamon adds a woody sweetness that rounds out the spice blend and gives the cup its cozy, familiar warmth
• Black Pepper (~4%) — the secret weapon; a small amount of black pepper adds a subtle, lingering heat that amplifies the other spices and gives Masala Chai its characteristic depth and complexity
• Cloves (~3%) — bold and aromatic, cloves add an intense, slightly sweet spice note that ties the blend together and gives the finish its long, warming persistence

How to Brew

• Traditional Masala Chai (Stovetop): Combine 1 heaping teaspoon per 6oz of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, steep 5 minutes, then add an equal part of whole milk. Simmer 2–3 more minutes, strain, sweeten with sugar or honey, and serve. This is chai as it was meant to be made.
• Chai Latte (Quick Method): Brew 1 heaping teaspoon in 6oz of water at 212°F for 5–7 minutes, strain, and top with steamed oat milk, almond milk, or whole milk. Add honey or brown sugar to taste.
• Iced Chai Latte: Brew double-strength, let cool, pour over ice, and top with cold milk or a splash of cream for a refreshing, spiced iced drink
• Black (No Milk): Brew 1 teaspoon in 8oz of water at 212°F for 5 minutes — bold, spicy, and invigorating on its own
