BecksCocoa specialty Chais
Spicy, fruity, exotic. Our Tribute to the Indian Spice Tea.
All of India's flavours in one cup of tea: When Michael Beck masterminded our Spice series he first explored what India's national masala chai is all about. Traditionally, tea vendors called “chai wallahs“ prepare their concoction by simmering or boiling spices such as cinnamon, green cardamom, ginger, white pepper, cloves and nutmeg in black tea for several hours. The intense masala aroma that builds up is in line with Ayurvedic tradition. In Europe masala tea is known as “chai“. And what's the secret behind the perfect chai? “For me, it's the interplay between selected spices and black tea, hot milk and moderate additions of sugar“, says Michael Beck. “That's exactly what makes chai so well-balanced and invigorating“.
Every tea lover may prefer a different spice combination. One thing the four organic specialty chais from our Spice series have in common, though is that they are less sweet than usual, allowing them to better unfold the spice aromas. Our Die Sorte Om ist eine Hommage an den klassischen indischen Masala-Tee. Mit Schwarztee und den landestypischen Gewürzen wirkt sie stimulierend und entspannend zugleich.
Enchantment oozes indulgence and vitality. Vanilla from Madagascar, aniseed and orange are the secret behind this beguiling mix. Matcha meets marzipan? Oh yes! Our Sono kombiniert diese beiden Aromen zu einer harmonischen, frischen Mischung – abgerundet mit einem Hauch von Pistazie.
