Laxmi Natural Tea Masala - Traditional Indian Tea Masala - 3.5oz (100g)

I had been looking for this for ages, because this brand of tea masala is exactly what lets me make a perfect Persian tea. It's got just the right combination of spices that imbibe a great flavor to the tea without making it spicy or overwhelming. Great value for money, great texture.

Super delicious. Delightful aroma. It is a nice fine powder that flavored my tea perfectly.

Very peppery. I thought that since it was the last ingredient listed it would just add a bit of punch. Nope. Mostly pepper came through in my tea. Not what I was looking for. Thankfully it was a small and affordable packet. I think if you like a heavy pepper flavor you’d love this.

Best tea masala I have tested

I used to my tea masala from a local Indian grocery store. However with COVID I am limiting myself on the amount of times I physically go into a store so one product shopping is not something I want to do at this time. The value was excellent. The flavor is good except it has a bit more kick/bite to it than I like. I will not buy it just based on my flavor preference; however I believe it is a product worth trying if you like your tea masala to be stronger in black pepper spice.

I now have three different types of powdered chai for whichever mood of chai strikes me. This was is perfect to add to oolong or black tea. And it works the best when I want to add Tumeric. Edit: After reading the negative reviews, there are a couple of tips for those who are not used to using a powder like this. These are strong spices. A little goes a long way. If it has no taste or only tastes of pepper, you have probably added too much (1/4 tsp to 8-12 oz of tea makes a strong drink for my tastes). So instead of pouring it out, add more liquid and more sweetener and take another sip (and it is possible that it will take far more than you think would be necessary). Remember that just for cinnamon, the usual ratio of spice to sugar is 1 part spice to 3 or 4 parts sweetener to get the full flavor for cinnamon toast. These spices are also fat soluable - which is why having whole milk or a nut milk helps bring out the flavor. I generally bring water and a sliver of coconut fat (or some powdered whole milk) to a boil, add the spices and then turn off the burner or take them off the burner after 20-30 seconds. Then I add the black tea. I will also do this process with just the spices, 1 to 2 tsp of spice to 8 oz of water (that has a sliver of coconut fat or whole milk). Then I can add this liquid to any leftover tea that I have made whenever I want a treat. I pour a portion of it into the tea, heat the mixture up and then add any additional whole or nut milk and about 3 times more sweetener than I would for just a cup of black tea until I have the taste I am looking for. This works wonderfully well for my preferences - experiment to find out what makes your tastebuds happy!

I’m just back from India. This is HORRIBLE masala tea. Like many reviewers said … just burning pepper in back of throat, no real flavor. It burns no matter how weak you make the tea!! Just awful.

tasty blend of spices great for tea or coffee.
