1
You can actually taste (and see) every ingredient
For a strong cup of chai, you need a special black tea (CTC Assam), whole cardamom pods, cinnamon pieces and cloves — real ingredients you can identify by sight and never a powder of unknown origin. Kolkata Chai’s Loose Leaf Chai Mix comes with these ingredients, pre-mixed and ready for you to use. No more grinding or measuring needed.
2
There’s no sugar added so you control the sweetness.
From the coffee shop to the grocery aisle, the chai in America is packed with unhealthy amounts of sugar. Moms use Kolkata Chai’s mix because it contains zero sugar, zero sweetener or zero syrups. You can add honey, maple, Stevia or nothing at all. If you’re managing blood sugar, reducing sugar intake or simply tired of drinks that taste like dessert, this is the chai for you.
Sourced from Assam, India

3
Because it tastes like chai in India while nothing else in America does
The chai you get at St*rbucks isn't chai, it's sweetened spice syrup in warm milk and moms you know the difference. Kolkata Chai combines organic tea sourced from small farms in India, with superfood spices like cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, which are native to authentic chai recipes across India.
4
Making it becomes the best 10 minutes of your morning
Brewing Kolkata Chai takes about 6 minutes on the stovetop which gives you a moment of calm, meditation and reflection to start every morning. Moms describe it as their “favorite part of the day” for a reason.
"I make it every morning without fail. The 6 minutes is the most peaceful part of my day."
— Priya M., verified buyer
The depth of flavor is truly authentic and not compromised
Most chai in America is made from sweetened powders or pre-mixed syrups. Kolkata Chai is brewed with organic tea and whole spices cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and more, which releases true flavor in ways that artificial ingredients never can.

Get more flavor and save more money
Big box cafes charge $6-8 for a cup of chai which can run you $200/month. At $0.80/cup, Kolkata Chai is a more affordable, delicious option. That's $150+ back in your pocket every month plus a healthier, happier you.

What tea lovers have to say
OVER 2 MILLION CUPS OF KOLKATA CHAI enjoyed
"I had 'chai lattes' from all my local coffee shops and thought that syrupy, sweet, barely-there-tea-flavor was the way chai should be. Once I tried Kolkata Chai, it was a whole new wonderful experience. I didn't know I was missing this."
Jules G, Verified Buyer
"I loved the richness and smoothness of the tea. I've had others and they have a bitterness end note — but with yours I tasted the real cardamom. The blend is just perfect with notes of cardamom, cloves, pepper and cinnamon."
Deborah T, Verified Buyer
"Best chai. I don't like most chais because they are too sweet. This has great flavor and doesn't include the honey or sweetener. I love that I control the sugar amount. It's so good I don't even need to add sweetener — and I always add sweetener."
Michael V, Verified Buyer
