THE 5 CRAZIEST CUPS OF CHAI YOU CAN FIND IN INDIA
The chaiwallahs across India are like magicians. Theyβre resourceful, imaginative and never afraid to push the boundaries.
Weβve come across some pretty incredible cups of chai in our travels so we had to do a roundup of the craziest ones that stick with us to this day.
Weβve also rated each up out of 5 chai emojis for good measure. Letβs dive in.
BUFFALO MILK CHAI
Buffalo milk is extremely rich which contrasts well with the spices found in chai and makes it the perfect companion. Add some brown sugar and youβre good to go.

YAK BUTTER CHAI
Found in the Himalayan regions, this chai has a very underrated flavor profile. Itβs on the heavier side (we are talking about yak butter..) but has a salty, creamy taste that canβt be found anywhere else.

FUDINA CHAI
Ever heard of mint chai? Found in Rajasthan, this cup of milk tea comes with a sharp mint flavor that is unmistakable. The cool thing here is, depending on which region youβre in, the mint might have a slightly different taste.

KESAR CHAI
Did you know a pound of saffron costs more than a pound of gold? This makes kesar (saffron) chai a real delicacy on the streets of India. The saffron is usually stored separately from the chai (either in a different store or hidden compartment) and sprinkled on top after the cup is brewed. Even better, itβs the only chai on this list that you can find on our cafe and online store.

NOON CHAI
βNoonβ translates to βsaltβ in Bengali which gives you a clue as to what this is about. This is a pink colored Kashmiri tea made with green tea leaves, milk, sea salt and baking soda. Yeah. Salt & baking soda. You gotta try it.

MAKE AUTHENTIC MASALA CHAI AT HOME
Kolkata Chai Co is on a mission to bring authentic masala chai to the Western world. That means sourcing CTC, 100% Organic Black Assam Tea and fresh spices that can be easily brewed at home.
HERE'S WHAT MAKES THE PERFECT CUP OF CHAI:
ORGANIC BLACK TEA FROM ASSAM
Sourced from legacy tea estates, our organic black tea comes in the same CTC form that is used by chaiwallahs across India. That means its highly concentrated and able to cut through to milk for a full flavor.
PREMIUM SPICES
We use more whole cardamom than any chai mix out there. This means you get the maximum flavor, natural antioxidants and healing properties with no compromise.
TRADITIONAL PREPARATION MADE EASY
We studied chaiwallahs across India to learn the perfect recipe that can be made easily in your kitchen in minutes.
WHAT'S IN OUR CHAI?
BLACK ASSAM TEA
Our CTC tea is organically sourced from the hilltops of Assam. CTC means itβs βcut, torn and curledβ into granules for a stronger blend that cuts through for our signature chai flavor.
GREEN CARDAMOM
Derived from seed pods of plants in the ginger family that creates a warm, herbal flavor. Packed with natural healing properties.
CLOVES
Collected as dried flowers of the clove tree, cloves are packed with antioxidants and inflammation reducing properties.
CINNAMON
Containing antioxidants, cinnamon provides a floral and fruity flavor to a cup of masala chai.
BLACK PEPPER
This common household seasoning gives chai heat and freshness.
GINGER
Though not included in our chai mix, we recommend adding cut or shredded ginger to your chai as it boils
