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.

Ammiji’s Chai Masalas are not only a must-have in your own kitchen. They make for the perfect gifts too. The elegant sampler box is sure to go down well with chai-lovers and chai-dabblers alike. Go on then, get one for yourself, and one for the person you love mostest. They deserve this and will thank you for it!

And once you’ve tried all four, let us know which one you liked best!

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

 Add a pinch of Ammiji’s Coffee Spice to your cup of coffee while brewing it. A pinch is all that is required to give it flavour and fragrance.
