ADDITIONAL INFO:

The ancient city of Cochin one of Southern India’s most important. Throughout the centuries, the city, which is situated in the state of Kerala, came under the rule of many different masters. First came the exotically named Zamorin of Kozhikode (Calicut), It is believed however that the name of the city derives from the Chinese word ‘kochi’, given to the city by its next ruler, Kublai Khan. Cochin however first came to prominence during the rule of the Portuguese around 1530. Their empire at the time was one of the world’s most powerful and under their tenure Cochin developed into a very prosperous trading centre. After the Portuguese came Dutch rule in the mid 17th century, followed by the British, and finally. after Indian independence, Indian rule. One can imagine that is because of this mix of cultures that Cochin subsequently became famous for a mixture of its own, Cochin Masala – a mixture of coconut, ground red chilies, dal, coriander, anu turmeric. Cochin Masala is a cooking staple in Southern India and is used to flavor curries of all sorts.

    I love this Masala Cuppa Chai. Its so comforting. My hug in a mug. It has a cardamom flavor which I enjoy the most, and they also have a blog on how to make it. 

  7. Melissa 

    Lovely delicate flavor yet with enough of strength. Tried a few different brands of chai. Most were weak. Can’t wait for my next cuppa!

  8. Nina

    This tea is brilliant with the spices it contains, all helps towards a healthy gut & immune system. I drink it probably 5-6 times a day its a pleasant warming blend, rich in natural antioxidants.

  9. Elsza Reilly

    This chai are just the right strength and the spices are perfect. I have tried many chai teabags and these are the best. The others are either too weak or too strong.

    This is my absolute favourite tea. Perfectly spiced to make a lovely cuppa.
    Highly recommended trying and the price similar to what I was paying at the supermarket before they discontinued the range. This brand knocks the socks off its competitors

    Basically a spiced tea, just add a tiny bit of milk after brewing, and you’re in for a treat.
