Tea India Masala Chai, 40 Tea Bags 100g
After a run of instant latte powders, this is the real thing: an authentic brewed masala chai, Assam black with six traditional spices to a family recipe, the kind you simmer or steep strong and finish with milk rather than stir from a tin. It has real depth that no convenience blend can touch, and for what it costs it is one of the best value proper chais around. Contains caffeine. If you want a quick frothy cup, the Drink Me powders win on speed; if you want chai that actually tastes brewed, this is the one.
Tea India Masala Chai, in brief.
Tea India Masala Chai combines black tea with ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper and anise. This is the 40-bag, 100g retail pack. It contains caffeine from the black tea.

Across the UK you will see it in specialist tea shops and on some supermarket shelves.

The Chai Master Brewing Instructions
-
Measure: Warm your favourite mug, then drop in one string and tag bag.
-
Water: It needs water at a full rolling boil, 100 degrees Celsius.
-
Pour: Pour straight onto the bag so the spices and tannins get going at once.
-
Steep: Leave it a full 5 minutes so the Assam can build its malty body and the spices can open out.
-
Ingredients and dietary suitability: Spice blends and allergen advice get revised, so check the current Tea India box before buying.
The Iced Masala Chai Latte Ritual
-
The Prep: Steep two bags together in just 150ml of freshly boiled water, giving them 5 minutes. Stir in honey or condensed milk while hot.
-
The Chill: Let the brew cool right down first; only then does it go into a tall glass crammed with big ice cubes.
-
The Serve: Top with 100ml of chilled milk for a creamy and spicy summer lift. Alternatively, try a spiced cold brew by refrigerating two bags in 500ml of water for 12 hours for a smoother, sweeter iced tea experience.
