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.

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.

Spiced Black Tea is a true concentrate of vitality, drawing its strength from the age-old combination of Indian tea and Masala spices. This blend offers protective and stimulating properties, particularly valuable during seasonal changes:

• Digestive Support: Cardamom and cloves are known for their carminative properties, helping to soothe the digestive system after a heavy meal.
• Antiseptic and Immune-Boosting Action: Cloves and cinnamon possess natural antibacterial properties that help strengthen the body's defenses.
• Warming and Circulatory Effect: The blend of white and black pepper stimulates thermogenesis and blood circulation, providing an immediate feeling of internal warmth, ideal for combating chills.
• Anti-inflammatory Properties: The synergy between cinnamon and the antioxidants in Indian black tea helps regulate the body's inflammatory responses.
• Natural Tonic: The combination of theine and energizing spices promotes mental clarity and concentration without the sudden jolt of coffee.

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.

• 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
• Number of infusions for 50g: about 20
