Chai is love. It warms up your hands and melts your heart. It calms you down and perks you up. It builds bonds, mends bridges and fuels conversations. It’s what wakes you up in the morning and revives you in the evening. It’s the comma to your work-day, the period to your meal. It’s the exclamation mark to a celebration, a question mark to a problem. Chai is love.

Ammiji’s much-appreciated range of Chai Masalas will make each cup of chai count. They will add a pinch of fragrance, a spoonful of comfort and a dash of good health to your regular tea. Each one of the four is formulated keeping in mind a different health goal and a different palate. Each one has a distinctively different aroma, taste and flavour.

The sampler box was created to help you decide which flavour of Chai Masala suits you best. We know a lot of you have trouble deciding which one to order. So you can start off with a small sampler portion of each, and decide for yourself which one you’ll stick to for a long, long time. (We say this because once you have chai with Ammiji’s Chai Masala, we know you’ll never go back to regular tea!) So try a different Chai Masala with every cup of tea and take your time deciding which one suits you most. Decide which one you’ll prefer for your morning cuppa and which one you’ll add to your post-meal pick-me-up. Decide which one brings you the most joy. You do you! :

The variants are:

Classic:

Ammiji’s chai masala as it was meant to be. Smooth, elegant, nostalgically fragrant. A promise in a jar. With strong tones of cinnamon, cardamom and star anise.

Immunity:

With added benefits of tulsi, brahmi and mulethi to give a daily boost to your immunity. The pungency of tulsi juxtaposed with the sweetness of mulethi. A protective hug in a jar.

Digestion:

Perfect for that evening cup. The sharpness of ginger and and the bite of long pepper make this apt for a strong cup of chai. Saunf adds to the digestive benefits provided by this blend. Fiery, yet subtle.

Vitality:

Invigorating and complex, this blend features Ashwagandha, that magical energy and stamina booster. Aided by Shatavari and Brahmi, this blend is the perfect revitalizing tonic.

70 years ago, a young, frightened and miserable girl got married to a near stranger in Amritsar. Her parents had fixed the match, and she hadn’t even seen the groom when she was handed over to him and his family. The fear abated when she plunged into the humdrum life of a housewife, but the misery didn’t go away entirely. Her husband was spending long days at work, and the household without him was not an overtly friendly place.

And as some of us are wont to do, that young girl – Rajinder Kaur – sought comfort in Chai. She wanted a reminder of the home she’d left behind; she wanted the fragrance of her childhood to comfort her when it seemed that it had all been a mere dream. But comfort was not to be found in the tea of her new house – it was a thick, overladen concoction, boiled till it was devoid of any delicacy of flavor, consumed without feeling by the rest of the family.

But the young bride was not ready to give up so easily. She made an illicit trip to Majith Mandi, the spice bazaar of Amritsar, and made random purchases. Back home, she experimented with different combinations of spices in her tea, futilely trying to capture the flavor of her childhood. She then asked her mother for her tea masala recipe, but somehow it didn’t taste the same when she made it in her new home. And then, Rajinder started cutting off ingredients from her list till she was left with a barebones recipe for chai masala. And her tea was transformed! She finally held in her hands a cup of tea that smelled of warmth and comfort and tasted like all her favorite daydreams.

Now, 70 years on, Rajinder Kaur’s grandchildren affectionately call her Ammiji. Beneath the indulgent yet firmly disciplined grandmotherly veneer, Ammiji, at heart, is a storyteller. She has a story for every occasion – sometimes embroidered at the edges and sometimes coming out as a one-liner. Birds, gurus, the city, her now-deceased husband, her children – nothing is immune to her when she’s in the mood for yarn-spinning. And from her grandchildren, none will listen to her stories with as much fascination and rapt attention as her eldest granddaughter will. This particular granddaughter had the distinction of being raised up partially by Ammiji and also the slightly dubious distinction of inheriting her storytelling genes.

She has also inherited Ammiji’s love affair with tea. The Chai Masala recipe that a young, lost and desperate girl came up with is now a family heirloom – a secret recipe that is being passed down quietly through the generations. This fragrant Chai Masala is the product that spearheaded Ammiji’s, and the one that gave her the idea of bringing Ammiji’s love to strangers.

You open the jar, and you’ll be instantly transported to a fragrant world where dreams are bathed in exotic spices. This secret recipe will transform your ordinary cuppa to one that you wouldn’t want to put down. Premium spices are handpicked and sorted to make a blend that’s not only fragrant and delicious but also healthy.

Try it out once. You won’t regret it.

An age-old Ayurvedic recipe mentioned in the Vedas, Ammiji’s Chyawanprash is made from fresh, seasonal amlas, jaggery and more than 30 herbs and spices. Made at home in the traditional way, with no additives and preservatives, this herbal formulation will build up your immunity, increase stamina and delay the aging process.

We’ve all had Chyawanprash as kids – whether we’ve had it forced down our throats or have licked the spoon clean and asked for more. It was and still is the cure-all magical tonic that keeps us safe and makes us stronger. But there’s a story behind the near-legendary reputation that it holds and why it’s been a part of our daily routine for centuries.

The legend of Chyawanprash goes back to the pre-vedic times. A sage, Rishi Chyawan, spent years meditating and devoted his life to asceticism. He was so devout that the Gods feared that he would intrude on their realm. So they sent the nymph, Menaka, to distract him. Such was Menaka’s beauty and charm that after some time spent staunchly resisting her lure, Chyawan eventually gave in. But Chyawan was an old, wizened sage. The challenge facing him now was that he had to match Menaka’s beauty and youth since he wanted to be with her for a long, long time. So he went off into the forest and returned rejuvenated and with a drastically younger appearance. He credited this change to the elixir that is now associated with his name – Chyawanprash. And as legends go, Chyawan and Menaka lived together happily ever after!

We don’t claim to have the elixir for immortality and youth that Chyawan concocted, but we do have the next best thing – Chyawanprash made at home, with the purest ingredients. Ammiji’s Chyawanprash is made in the traditional way prescribed in the Charita Samhita, that ancient Indian Vedic text which defined Ayurvedic principles. It’s a laborious, painstaking process, but the end result is pure and magical.

Benefits of Chyawanprash: 

  1. Chyawanprash is extremely beneficial for our immune system and rejuvenates all the tissues in our body. It boosts our body’s ability to produce hemoglobin and white blood cells.
  2. According to Ayurveda, Chyawanprash is a rasayana that balances all the doshas in our body.
  3. Chyawanprash is especially good for our respiratory system because it cleans out the mucus from our lungs and respiratory passages. That is one reason why we were encouraged to have Chayawanprash during the winter months in particular.
  4. Chyawanprash gave the sage Chyawan immortality. But for us, it’s a great tonic for strength, youth and vitality. It provides nourishment to our tissues and promotes systemic health and well-being.
  5. Chyawanprash is great for the digestive system, having the dual action ability to both stimulate it and pacify it at once.
  6. Cholestrol and glucose levels have both been shown to be regulated after regular use of Chyawanprash.
  7. The original purpose of Chyawanprash was to be a tonic for virility. It still is that, supporting virility and stamina and promoting a healthy reproductive system.
  8. Chyawanprash is an overall superfood, a bulwark for our body’s natural defenses and a tonic for our brain too.
  9. Studies have also shown Chyawanprash to boost metabolism.

Ingredients and some of their individual benefits: 

Amla, Dates, Figs, Jaggery, Ghee, Sesame Oil, Honey, Bidrikand, Akarkara, Shatavari, Brahmi, Bilva, Haritaki, Kamal Kesar, Jatamansi, Gokhru, Bel, Kachoor, Nagarmotha, Clove, Pushkarmool, Kakadsinghi, Jiwanti, Punarnava, Ashwagandha, Giloy, Tulsi, Sweet Neem, Ginger, Raisins, Mulethi, Pippali, Banslocham, Cinnamon, Bay Leaves, Nagkesar, Green Cardamom, Saffron, Star Anise.

Amla – Amla or amlaki is the Indian wonder-berry. It has the highest concentration of Vitamin C that a fruit can have. It is full of antioxidants and supports a healthy circulatory, respiratory and immune system. It is essential for a good metabolism and is a great beauty tonic!

Dates – Dates are full of antioxidants and are a good brain booster. It also helps maintain bone mass.

Figs – Figs lower cholesterol and help maintain blood glucose levels in the body. They’re also a good source of calcium.

Jaggery – Gud is again loaded with antioxidants and minerals like zinc and selenium, which help fight free radicals in the body. Jaggery is particularly good for clearing out toxins from the lungs and the liver. It is the perfect anti-pollution aid.

Ghee – Ghee in Chyawanprash acts as a carrier agent, helping to carry all the benefits to each part of our body. It has its own set of benefits too, which have led to the Western world in touting it as a superfood.

Sesame Oil – This complements ghee in its role of a carrier agent in Chyawanprash. It is, again, full of antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory and good for heart health.

Apart from these main ingredients, Chyawanprash contains a lot of herbs which are infused into the amlaki mixture and a set of spices added at the end to give it that distinctive taste. (The set of spices also includes a good portion of Ammiji’s Classic Chai Masala, whose ingredients are at par with those required for Chyawanprash;))

Almost 40 ingredients – each having their own benefits and their own role to play in strengthening our immune system, and making us look and feel sharper!

How to use Chyawanprash

Chyawanprash is best had in the morning, but can also be taken at bedtime. As kids we had it accompanied by a glass of milk, but you can also have it with water or just on its own. Recommended: 1-2 loaded teaspoons a day for adults; ½ -1 teaspoon a day for children.

A beautifully fragrant set of spice blends that will take your coffee to the next level. Add a touch of drama, a soupçon of romance and a pinch of health to your daily cuppa!

 The aroma of freshly made coffee has the power to instantly transport you. It’ll make you glide into a Parisian bistro with elan, throwing out a bonjour as nonchalantly as you throw out a mysterious smile. It’ll make you tiptoe into a musty old bookshop in a small, crowded Bangalore market, the wisdom of centuries slowly seeping into your bones. It’ll make you sit at a bright, sunlit café in an anonymous city, and it’ll lift your spirit till you notice the small things that actually matter. Now imagine amplifying that aroma. Imagine adding subtle notes to it so that the first romance of coffee becomes the only love affair you’ll ever need. Imagine being transported further still in the getaway that plain coffee offered you at first…

 Okay, we could go on and on and make a whole Inception-like scenario here. But that’s the power of coffee when enhanced with Ammiji’s Coffee Spice.

 Coffee is the brain-fuel, the morning wake-me-up, the evening shake-me-up and the anytime romance that we all need in our lives. And what does coffee need? Just a pinch of Ammiji’s Coffee Spice to take it from a tepid romance to a wild, knock-your-socks-off full-blown love affair!

 Ammiji’s Coffee Spice Sampler Box contains four tiny, powerful jars. They’re named after the 4 seasons – not because they’re meant for those seasons, but because the aroma of them evokes the emotions of that particular season.

 

We have worked on these blends for almost a year, exploring the flavour profiles of a host of flowers, herbs and spices, and coming up with some very unconventional and some very classic combinations. All our Coffee Spice blends contain ingredients that are handpicked. All are meant to add value to your coffee. All of them have their individual health benefits and promise to transport your cup of coffee into something other than a mere pick-me-up.

 Spring

 Early spring, when the ground is still dark and mulchy. The earthy, addictive fragrance of damp mud juxtaposed with the fresh, heady aroma of garden flowers that have just started blooming. The promise of warmth, of newness and of untold delights that lie in wait ahead.

 Ammiji’s Spring Coffee Spice captures this and more with its unique blend of flower and herb, lemon and liquorice. Cardamom and rosemary add a slightly exotic, old-school touch to it while the floral undertones imparted by lavender are accented by lemon. Star anise and its sharp sweetness bring everything together to make a blend that brings to mind fresh leaves, flowers, mud, and sunshine.

 Ingredients: Star Anise, Cardamom, Lavender, Lemon, Rosemary

 Summer

 Summer in full bloom. Heat and dust. Ice-cream and long, cool drinks. That longing for a cool breeze and that craving for tang. The connection with the earth that suddenly seems cooler than the sky. That impatient wait for any hint of a cloud on the horizon. The fulfilment of spring’s promise and the belief that there are still better things around the corner. The aroma of fruit laden trees and flower laden shrubs. All this and more…in Ammiji’s Summer Coffee Spice.

 This blend has a decidedly citrusy orange note, accentuated with refreshing ginger and fennel. Avarampoo flowers, known for their ability to prevent dehydration, are added for a subtle floral note. And overlaying it all, there’s gorgeously nostalgic vanilla.

 Ingredients: Fennel, Ginger, Avarampoo, Orange, Vanilla.

 Autumn

 The dust has given way to the monsoon, which in turn has given way to a revived, lush earth. Festivity and joy thrums in the air. The smell of smoke and of spice permeates into our sub conscience. The air turns pleasant, bringing with it the urge to celebrate everything – life, family, friends, ourselves. And food, glorious food, becomes an indulgence once again.

 Think pumpkin pies, apple turnovers and spiced teacakes. Think cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves. Because that’s exactly what this blend contains. A highly fragrant mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, layered with ginger and allspice berries. The end result is heady and warm. And addictive.

 Ingredients: Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Allspice, Clove.

 Winter

 Freezing winds. Warm woollens. Cold noses. Hot spice. Winter is a study in contrasts. From snuggling up in front of a fireplace, to opening up a window to let the cool air in. From a delicious mug of hot chocolate on a cold, winter night to the crunch of cold carrots and radishes on a sunny winter afternoon.

 And that’s why our Winter Coffee Spice has a pinch of bright cayenne pepper thrown into a warming blend with heavy, chocolate tones. Raw cacao nibs, with their immense health benefits, form the base of this blend. Mace, cinnamon and star anise lend the subtly pervasive warmth while the pepper adds that dash of contrasting heat.

 Ingredients: Cinnamon, Star anise, Cacao nibs, Cayenne pepper, Mace.

 How to Use
