Why we included Madn Tea in the PraveBio.cz range
Madn Tea is a Belgian brand of organic loose tea and herbal blends. The blends are mixed in Brussels in small batches. The recipes are based on the family recipes of the founder's mother, who is from India, and are grounded in precise proportions of individual ingredients and Ayurvedic principles.
The range includes chai blends (a combination of Assam black tea and spices), Golden Milk blends (a combination of spices with turmeric intended for making a milk-based drink), Ayurvedic and functional herbal blends including collections focused on women's life stages, and also blends suitable for preparing iced teas.
The foundation of all products is loose form, clearly defined composition and a functional approach: flavour and effect are derived from real ingredients and their proportions, not from flavours, instant mixes or syrups. The brand works exclusively with ingredients from organic farming and all products are certified organic.
Indian Choco – Organic Tea with a Chocolate Character
Loose blend for preparing hot tea or chai latte. The taste is dominated by cocoa and delicate spices.
The profile consists of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and a light touch of clove, which in herbalism is associated with “warming” and a pleasant feeling after meals. It acts like a warm chocolate drink with cinnamon and cardamom – without bitterness.
Serve on its own or with a splash of milk or plant-based drink. A drop of honey is enough for sweetening.
This tea is part of the Chai collection, which includes chai blends (a combination of Assam black tea and spices) for warming, more robust infusions. The blends are hand-mixed upon order and meet EU organic standards.
Did you know?
According to a review in the journal Food Chemistry, plastic tea bags can be a significant source of micro- and nanoplastics when steeped in boiling water. Therefore, it makes sense to opt for loose tea or plastic-free bags.
*Note: With loose tea, you can easily prepare the blend in a strainer or teapot – without a disposable plastic bag.

Selection of Greek honeys. If you like to gently sweeten your tea, this is a natural and pure-tasting choice. - Biscuits and Crackers

Quick tip: During periods when you prefer a milder taste, it often works well with Indian Choco to shorten the steeping time (e.g., to 3–4 minutes) and possibly use a little less blend. The infusion will be lighter but will still retain the chocolate tone and pleasantly spiced chai character.

- Versatile use – tastes great on its own, with a splash of milk or plant-based drink, or with a drop of honey.

For an evening without caffeine, opt for Rooibos Mix with a gently sweet profile.
For a summer carafe with ice, Hibiscus Mix with a light acidity is suitable.
Ice Tea Collection – Teas for Ice or a Hot Cup
Madn presents a collection of loose teas for pure refreshment during the day. They were primarily created for preparing iced tea, but they also work excellently in a warm cup.
The recipes use whole leaves and distinctive ingredients: white tea, green tea, hibiscus, jasmine, rooibos, lemongrass, mint, linden, and orange peel.The result is a fresh, fruity-citrus or subtly spicy profile depending on the specific blend.
In the collection, you'll find fresh blends of green and white teas (e.g., Green Fusion, Summer Sunset), fruity hibiscus infusions, naturally caffeine-free rooibos for the evening, lightly citrus teas with lemongrass, cooling herbal mint variants, tropical blends with coconut (Ocean Breeze), and subtly spiced/chocolate interpretations for a "chai-latte" style (Indian Choco). All are suitable for both iced and hot, so you can easily choose a flavour for the whole day.

How Did This Story Begin?
Behind the brand Madn is founder Naina Madan, who wanted to bring joy and simple rituals into everyday cups. This led to the creation of handcrafted organic loose teas designed for specific times of the day – with an emphasis on pure taste and straightforward preparation.
The blends are based on family recipes and work with herbs and spices, carefully tuned for balanced taste and aroma.
The inspiration comes from the founder's childhood; from these experiences arose the Elixir collection and an approach that prioritises quality. Madn views tea as a shared moment with family and friends, continuing the tradition of the chai ritual.
The brand favours loose teas and principles of sustainability (reuse, waste reduction, recycling), and its blends are certified organic according to EU standards.

FAQ
Is Indian Choco suitable for milk (chai-latte)?
Yes. The blend is designed for making hot tea and chai-latte. Use warmed milk or plant-based drink (e.g., almond/oat) for a creamier result.
Does chocolate tea contain caffeine?
Yes. The base is black tea (Assam, Nilgiri), so the drink naturally contains caffeine. It is more suitable for daytime drinking.
How to prepare the tea correctly?
For a classic cup: about 180 ml of water at 95–100 °C, 5–7 min steeping. For chai-latte: prepare a stronger infusion, then top up with warmed milk (e.g., 1:1) and sweeten to taste.
Is it necessary to sweeten the tea?
It is not necessary. The blend has a naturally cocoa and gently spicy character. If you prefer a sweeter cup, just a drop of honey or a bit of sugar/syrup will do.
Are there any allergens or ingredients to watch out for in the tea?
Contains spices (cinnamon, cardamom, clove), liquorice, and cocoa. Consider caution if you have known sensitivities; monitor liquorice intake with dietary restrictions.
Is the blend suitable for the evening?
Due to the caffeine from black tea, we recommend it more for morning to afternoon. For the evening, choose caffeine-free or herbal blends.
Is the tea organic and hand-blended?
Yes. The ingredients are organic and the blend is hand-blended after ordering to maintain freshness. The packaging contains 80 g (tube or refill).
How many servings can I prepare from the package?
Typically 25–35 cups depending on dosing and infusion strength. For chai-latte, expect a smaller portion of tea per cup due to the addition of milk.

Brand sustainability
Why is loose tea a better choice than bagged tea?
Many tea bags contain non-biodegradable microplastics that can leach into the tea when in contact with hot water. In addition, some tea bags undergo a bleaching process using chemicals such as chlorine, which raises concerns about potential health impacts.
The loose tea, untouched by processing, guarantees a natural and intact infusion. Its greater advantage is that you contribute to ecological development through minimal packaging and less waste.
Thanks to its centuries-old tradition and healthy reputation, tea has become an integral part of cultures around the world. Yet the debate over brewing tea bags and loose tea is a crucial factor that many tea enthusiasts often overlook. By choosing loose-leaf tea, you come to terms with both your well-being and the true essence of tea itself.
