Brewing the Perfect Cup of Chai
Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
Place 1 heaping teaspoon or one teabag of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot.
Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes (for true ‘Chai’ steep at least 7 minutes).
While the tea is brewing prepare your cup to receive the chai – put 2 teaspoons of sugar in the cup and add milk (about 20%) of the cup’s volume.
When the chai is ready – pour into your cup.

Karma Kream
Our unique blend of Indian Spiced Chai
Karma Kream is our signature chai, a spiced blend from fine Sri Lankan Orange Pekoe with a bevy of spices including Cardamom, Cloves, Coriander, Cumin Seed, Sweet cumin seeds, Curry leaves, Lemongrass, Rampe leaves, Cinnamon, and Aniseed.
Traditional Indian chai is a heady mix of spice and tea. Chai recipes are handed down from generation to generation the way westerners pass on grandma’s apple pie recipe. The tea is traditionally brewed by boiling milk, adding good thick black tea, various spices and then boiling it again. The resulting mixture is thick, spicy and incredibly full-bodied.
Across India Chai-sellers, known as Chai Wallahs sell their concoctions at roadside stalls, train stations, anywhere you can think of. The tea is served in small clay cups known as chullarhs that are smashed on the ground once the tea is finished.
Brewing your chai takes practice, because of the subtleties in flavor. Find your perfect cup by experimenting with different milk, steeping times and sugar quantities.
Eventually you'll find your personal perfect cup... then it's time to try iced chai!
