Pure spice blend — no tea added
Ground Chai Masala — Convenience Without Compromise
Unlike traditional whole spice blends, our finely ground masala powder delivers instant flavor without sacrificing authenticity.
Ground vs. Whole: The DUALS Innovation
Traditional chai masala uses whole spices that require long simmering to release their flavors. Our perfectly ground powder revolutionizes this process while delivering several key advantages:
- Immediate Flavor Release: Unlike whole spices that need 15-20 minutes to infuse, our ground masala releases its complete flavor profile in just 3-4 minutes—perfect for busy mornings.
- Consistent Results Every Time: Precisely ground to uniform consistency, ensuring balanced flavor in every cup—no more overpowering cinnamon or missing cardamom notes.
- No Straining Required: The fine powder dissolves during brewing, eliminating the need to strain out whole spices—simpler preparation without sacrificing authenticity.
- Versatile Applications: Our ground masala easily incorporates into recipes where whole spices wouldn't work—from batters and doughs to coffee and smoothies.
While many ground spice blends lose potency, we preserve the essential oils and aromas through our proprietary small-batch grinding process—capturing the intensity of whole spices with the convenience of a powder.
The same authentic flavors from our East Village, Williamsburg, and Crown Heights locations—now in a convenient ground form that respects tradition while embracing modern convenience.
How to Prepare Your Perfect Chai
Four simple steps to create authentic masala chai with your choice of tea.
Add Chai Masala
Use 1/2 teaspoon of our ground chai masala powder per cup. Adjust to taste—more for a stronger spice profile.
Boil in Water
Add masala to water and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes to fully extract the spice flavors.
Add Tea of Your Choice
Add black tea (or any tea you prefer) and brew according to your taste preferences.
Finish with Milk & Sweetener
Simmer with milk for 2 minutes. Add sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste, then strain and serve.
Pro Tip: For a richer flavor, try using our chai masala with loose-leaf Assam or Darjeeling tea, or experiment with green tea for a lighter option. For caffeine-free chai, rooibos works beautifully.
Beyond the Cup
Our ground chai masala adds warm, complex flavors to more than just tea.
In the Kitchen
Add to cookie dough, cake batters, or bread recipes for a warming spice profile that elevates ordinary baked goods.
Coffee Upgrade
Sprinkle into your morning coffee grounds or add a pinch to your espresso for a chai-spiced coffee experience.
