Assam Masala Chai

Masala chai tea is bold, warming and deeply comforting.

Made with our premium quality, loose Assam black tea and whole spices including cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and cloves, masala chai is rich, aromatic and forgiving. It is designed to be brewed with milk and enjoyed slowly.

At Dehing Tea, our masala chai focuses on balance. The tea provides structure and depth, while the spices add warmth and complexity without overpowering the cup.

This collection is perfect for those who enjoy spiced flavours, traditional stovetop brewing and tea as a sensory, almost culinary experience.

What is Assam Masala Chai?


Masala chai is a traditional Indian tea made by blending black tea with aromatic spices such as cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

At Dehing Tea, our Assam masala chai is crafted using strong Assam black tea grown in our family tea gardens in Pengeri, Assam. The richness of Assam tea creates the ideal foundation for chai because it provides enough body and depth to balance the warming spice blend.

The result is a smooth, full flavoured and deeply comforting tea that works beautifully with milk.

Unlike lighter black teas, Assam tea retains its structure and flavour during brewing, allowing the spices and tea to complement one another naturally. This balance is one of the reasons Assam tea has traditionally been used in authentic Indian chai.

Why Assam Tea Works So Well in Chai

Assam tea is known worldwide for its rich body and natural malt character.

These qualities make it particularly well suited to masala chai, where the tea needs enough strength to stand alongside spices and milk without losing depth or flavour.

The tropical climate of Assam and the large leaf Assamica tea plant help create a tea with warmth, richness and a naturally rounded profile, all of which contribute to a satisfying chai experience.

Loose Leaf Masala Chai

Our Assam masala chai collection is available exclusively in loose leaf format.

Loose leaf chai allows the tea leaves and spices to infuse more gradually during brewing, creating greater depth and aroma in the final cup. It also gives more flexibility when preparing traditional stovetop chai, where the tea is simmered gently with milk.

For many tea drinkers, this slower preparation process becomes part of the ritual itself.
