Chilli Chai
a bold and invigorating tea that takes the traditional chai blend to an exciting new level. The whole chillies add a layer of intensity to the blend, infusing the tea with a spicy heat that is perfectly complemented by the gentle sweetness of the ginger. This marriage of spice and warmth creates a balanced, yet vibrant, foundation for the other spices to shine.
The addition of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star aniseed further elevates the complexity of the tea, with each spice contributing its unique aromatic qualities. Cinnamon brings a touch of sweetness and depth, while cloves lend their warming, earthy notes. The cardamom adds a hint of citrusy sweetness, and the star aniseed infuses the tea with its delicate, liquorice-like flavour, rounding off the blend into a perfectly harmonious cup.
Beyond its bold, captivating flavour, offers a number of health benefits, particularly from the inclusion of chillies. Rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat in chillies, this tea can help boost metabolism and improve circulation. Capsaicin is also known for its ability to support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and aid in digestion. The ginger adds its own medicinal properties, promoting digestive health and soothing nausea, while cinnamon has been revered for its antioxidant properties and ability to regulate blood sugar levels. The combined health benefits of these spices make not just a treat for the senses, but a nourishing addition to your daily routine.
Whether enjoyed pure to experience the full strength of its fiery spices or with a dash of milk to soften its intensity, a perfect choice for those who crave both bold flavour and a boost to their well-being. Embrace the warmth, embrace the spice, and let this tea awaken both your senses and your spirit.
