Description
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Masala Chai Spice Blend honours the timeless ritual of Indian chai. The quiet meeting of spice and heat, rising steam from the pot and comfort of a cup prepared slowly and shared. Crafted from eight certified organic whole spices and coarse stone-milled to preserve their natural oils, this blend delivers the depth of true traditional chai.
Long before black tea became part of the ritual, chai in India was a fragrant spice infusion. Warming botanicals were simmered for aroma, familiarity and daily comfort. With the rise of British run Assam tea cultivation during the 19th century, tea gradually merged with these spice traditions resulting in the Masala Chai now loved worldwide - layered spices and maltiness in a cup that feels nostalgic, soulful and restorative.
Free from premixed black tea, sweeteners or fillers, this blend returns chai to its origins, a fragrant spice decoction. Brew it strong and malty with Assam tea, gentle and caffeine-free with rooibos, creamy on the stovetop with milk, bright and invigorating as an iced chai with ginger and lemon or simply infused in water or milk for a quick, modern brew. Its purity makes it exceptionally versatile and allergen-friendly, suitable for every household.
Across India, chai is enjoyed in every season. A warm cup remains part of daily rhythm even in summer. When brewed strong and poured over ice, the spices take on a vivid clarity that feels naturally refreshing. This adaptability is part of chai’s enduring appeal.

Wellness Tradition
Masala chai spices are traditionally described in Ayurveda tradition as warming and grounding, qualities culturally associated with balancing Vata and Kapha. Lighter or iced preparations are enjoyed during Pitta seasons, reflecting the year-round place of chai in Indian daily life. These traditions reflect cultural heritage rather than medical guidance.
