TASTING NOTE

The Legacy of "Masala": A Vibrant and Profound Aroma
Lupicia's Spiced Black Tea is a celebration of traditional Indian flavors. Made with a base of robust Indian black tea, this blend incorporates a quintet of noble spices: cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, white pepper, and black pepper. This combination creates a liquor with an orangey-red hue, releasing a vibrant aroma and incomparable freshness.

THE SOMMELIER'S NOTE
A Blend of Character

The base of this tea was specifically chosen for its ability to complement the spices without being overpowered:

  • Tannin Structure: The Indian black tea provides the necessary "backbone" to support the powerful notes of the cloves.
  • Balance of Flavors: Unlike industrial blends, here the tea and spices are perfectly balanced, ensuring the palate is never overwhelmed.
  • Visual Richness: The visible pieces of spices in the blend testify to artisanal selection and the blender's expertise.

AROMATIC PROFILE

Each cup offers an intense and balanced sensory experience:

  • The Nose: An elegant dominance of clove, closely followed by the warmth of cinnamon and the finesse of cardamom.
  • On the Palate: The palate lives up to the promises of the nose. The attack is direct and spicy, while the finish reveals a touch of tannin, providing a beautiful structure to the whole.
  • The Finish: A hint of warmth from the duo of peppers (white and black) enhances the tasting without being overpowering.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

Customer feedback on Spiced Black Tea confirms its status as a true classic for lovers of authentic flavors. Reviews submitted via Certishopping, Google, and tasting notes particularly highlight the freshness of the spice blend, which stands out from industrial blends thanks to its vibrancy and balance:

  • An immediate sensory journey: Many customers describe a "trip to India" as soon as they open the bag, thanks to the powerful and natural aroma of cloves and cardamom.
  • The ideal base for Chai: This is the most frequent comment; users praise it as the best base for making a homemade Chai Latte, noting that it infuses perfectly in hot milk.
  • Spicy yet refined: Consumers appreciate that the duo of peppers (white and black) adds depth without burning the palate, allowing the sweet notes of cinnamon to shine through.
  • A lingering freshness: Several reviews note with surprise the remarkable freshness on the palate, a far cry from the sometimes "dusty" taste of standard spiced teas.
  • Absolute comfort: It is described as the "ideal remedy" against the winter blues, offering a lasting feeling of warmth after tasting.

PREPARING YOUR BLACK TEA PROPERLY
Hot or as an Indian-style "Chai Latte"

To transform your Spiced Black Tea into a sensory experience worthy of the finest tea rooms in Delhi, here are the recommendations for a perfect infusion, whether you prefer it pure or creamy:

  • Water temperature: Ideally, use water heated between 85°C and 95°C. A high temperature is essential to pierce the cinnamon bark and release the essential oils contained within the cardamom and cloves.
  • Infusion time: Let it steep for 2'30 to 3 minutes. A short infusion will highlight the zesty freshness of the cardamom, while a longer infusion will fully release the warmth of the pepper and cloves.
  • The Chai Latte Ritual: For a treat on a cold day, we recommend infusing it directly in hot milk (dairy or plant-based). Add cane sugar or honey: the sugar acts as a flavor enhancer, revealing the full richness of the spices.
  • Re-infusion: The robustness of Indian black tea and the lingering flavor of the spices allow for 1 to 2 infusions. The second cup will be milder, emphasizing the woody and sweet notes of cinnamon.
  • Gourmet Pairing: Perfect with oatmeal cookies, fruitcake, or Middle Eastern pastries.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

  • Ingredients: Black tea, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, white pepper, black pepper
  • Type of tea and origin: Black tea from India
  • Can be re-infused: 1 - 2 times
