Story Behind This Chai

Located in the eastern part and called the Chai capital of India, Assam is the region where tea was growing way before the Britishers " brought" it to the land.

No one knows where chai came from, but it's well-known that Britishers got us into drinking it. When was milk added to tea is an unknown fact. Some speculate that its taste was too strong for their palate, hence milk and sugar were added to tea, making it ‘chai’ in the subcontinent. Spices were added to chai in the coming years, making it a masala chai.

The Teabox Assam Masala Chai is a true testament to the history of masala chai. The cup is infused with real spices - Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger, Clove & ginger.

A cup rich in history and tradition!

Never heard of freshness in chai? Is it important?

Freshness is paramount in crafting a superior tea experience, especially in the case of Chai. It plays a pivotal role in preserving the nuanced flavours and aromatic profiles of tea leaves and spices. Stale tea can often result in a lacklustre and diminished taste, compromising the characteristic notes that make masala chai so special.

At Teabox, our unwavering dedication to freshness ensures that every sip of chai is a vibrant and authentic indulgence.

We directly source our teas from their origin and implement stringent quality control measures, we handcraft the chai and vacuum pack them in small batches to ensure we keep them away from their 4 enemies - Light, Oxygen, Moisture and heat to prioritize maintaining the optimum freshness of our teas, allowing you to savour the rich, full-bodied flavours that define a remarkable Masala Chai experience.

How do I store my Chai to maintain freshness?

1. To preserve the freshness and flavor of any tea, it is advisable to store them in an airtight container, shielding them from exposure to air.

2. Choose a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight, as light and heat can compromise the tea's quality.

3. Store the tea away from strong odors to prevent the absorption of unwanted flavors.

My go-to Masala Chai

This is my favourite masala chai that I drink nearly every day. The warm spices are perfect. I think my last purchase was tweaked slightly because it has more heat on the aftertaste; possibly from black pepper ? In any case, I love it. 10/10 would recommend !

Teabox Chai

I am huge fan of your Assam Masala Chai and Kadak Chai! I love mixing them to create the perfect blend, and it's become a staple in our household. My family can't get enough of these teas. I'm also a big fan of your green teas, especially the Ashwagandha and Organic Mint options.

I really appreciate the thoughtful concept of "Kalpana" - it's a beautiful way to connect with customers. Your commitment to quality and innovative ideas is truly admirable.
Keep up the fantastic work! Wishing you all the best !
