Story Behind This Chai

Wayanad is a district in the southern state of India, Kerala. Standing tall on the western ghats, in God's Own Country. Untouched and unexplored, this place produces high-quality spices and rice, cardamom being one of them.

For ages, Kerala is known to grow the best quality cardamom in the world. Also known as the queen of spices, cardamom requires almost constant rainfall. As you start to enjoy the rains and the backwaters, a look around for a cup of cardamom chai is inevitable, making you arrive at a Chai Kada. Chai Kadas are small chai stalls situated at every corner of the state. Along with chai, Pazham Pori, and Bonda, the local snacks from the state, are everyday chai snacks, relished at every bite.

Our Wayanad Cardamom Masala Chai is a simple yet skilled combination of selected Wayanad cardamom and chai. By half-beating the cardamom pods and mixing them with chai, we ensure its flavor is completely locked. As you sip this blend, the fresh and cool aroma of the green gem takes over your senses. An irresistible cup of chai!

Stale tea can often result in a lacklustre and diminished taste, compromising the characteristic notes that make masala chai so special.

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.
