Ta wyjątkowa mieszanka chai, inspirowana przepisem z książki Heartland Masala autorstwa Jyoti i Auyona Mukharjich, łączy herbatę CTC Assam z wyrazistą kompozycją imbiru, cynamonu, kopru włoskiego, kardamonu, goździków i czarnego pieprzu. Jyoti i Auyon zdecydowanie zalecają dodanie mleka i cukru do smaku.
Brewed a pot this morning and the fennel and cardamom come through beautifully—it's spicy but not overwhelming. The CTC Assam base gives it that proper malty backbone that holds up well to milk and sugar.
The ginger and black pepper really come through with a nice kick, and the CTC Assam base holds up well to milk. I do wish the fennel were a bit more present, but it's a solid everyday masala chai.
The chai tastes exactly like what my grandmother used to make—the ginger and cardamom really punch through, and the CTC Assam gives it that strong base. I do wish the fennel were a touch more present, but it brews up beautifully with milk and makes a solid two-cup pot.
