Main benefits of loose ginger chai

• Warming chai flavour with ginger – black tea with prominent ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and clove for a full, spiced cup.
• Versatile use – for a hot infusion, creamy "chai latte" with milk, or as a gently chilled drink.
• Gentle stimulation – contains caffeine from black tea, suitable for morning and afternoon as a milder alternative to coffee.
• Organic quality according to EU standards – clear ingredients from organic farming.
• Hand-mixed after ordering – emphasis on freshness and consistent taste.
• Loose blend – fuller taste and aroma, without disposable bags.
• 80 g packaging – practical tube or refill pouch for easy replenishment.
• Simple preparation – 180 ml water (95–100 °C), steep for 3–5 minutes; adjust intensity and spice strength by steeping time.

Tip: For a full "chai latte", prepare a stronger infusion, add warmed milk or plant-based drink, and sweeten with honey or your favourite sweetener. In summer, try chilling, adding ice cubes and a slice of orange or lemon.

 

For a lighter, refreshing cup, try Green Fusion – a fresh blend with green and white tea for daily refreshment.

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.

Chai Collection – spiced teas for warmth and "chai" ritual

Madn presents a collection of loose chai teas focused on a warming ritual, the aroma of spices, and a calmer pace of the day. The blends are designed for a hot infusion or creamy "chai-latte" style with milk or plant-based drink.

The recipes work with whole pieces of spices and strong components: most often ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, sometimes also lemongrass, black tea, or cocoa. The flavour profile is spiced, from gently gingery to distinctly warming, depending on the specific blend.

The collection includes lighter herbal chai and richer variants with black tea. Ami’s Chai Ginger is among the more pronounced choices – offering a classic black chai base with an emphasis on ginger and spices, ideal for cooler days or an afternoon pause.

Madn relies on loose tea and a clear origin. For each blend, you can easily find the origin of ingredients, exact preparation method, and serving recommendations throughout the day – whether you prefer a gentle herbal cup or a strongly spiced chai latte.

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 moments of the day – with an emphasis on pure taste and understandable 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 emerged the Elixir collection and an approach that prioritizes quality. Madn perceives 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.

Composition Analysis and Functional Benefits

Assam Black Tea

Function: Forms the base of chai, providing the infusion with body, colour, and gentle stimulation thanks to natural caffeine.

 

Advantage: In traditional blends, Assam tea is favoured for a richer cup and as a classic base for homemade masala chai.

Cardamom

What it is: Crushed pods with a citrus-spicy aroma.

 

Function: Brightens the aroma, connects sweet and spicy notes, and gives the tea a gentle sparkle.

 

Advantage: In chai blends, cardamom is valued for a sense of flavour harmony and a pleasantly fragrant aftertaste.

Black Cardamom

What it is: Smoked pods with a deeper, slightly smoky-spicy aroma.

 

Function: Adds earthy depth to the blend and enhances the "richer" character of chai.

 

Advantage: Traditionally perceived as a warming ingredient, suitable for teas in cooler seasons.

Cloves

What it is: Dried buds with a sweet spicy aroma known from punches and mulled wine.

 

Function: Gives the tea an intense spicy accent and deepens the overall aroma of the drink.

 

Advantage: In warm drinks, cloves are traditionally associated with a feeling of winter comfort and a "festive" touch in the cup.

Cinnamon (Ceylon)

What it is: Finely broken bark with a sweetly warming aroma.

 

Function: Rounds off the taste, connects the spices, and gives the tea a cosy, warming character.

 

Advantage: In chai drinks, cinnamon is perceived as a spice for internal warmth and a sense of home comfort.

Ginger

What it is: Dried root with a distinctly spicy, aromatic flavour.

 

Function: Brings lively warmth to the blend, enhances the spicy character, and gives chai an energetic touch.

 

Advantage: In traditional hot drinks, ginger is often chosen for the subjective feeling of warmth and a pleasant "kick" on cold days.

Note: The points mentioned are based on traditional herbalism and the use of spices in drinks. They are not health claims or treatment recommendations; consider your own tolerance to black tea and spices.

FAQ

Does Ami’s Chai Ginger contain caffeine?

Yes. Ami’s Chai Ginger is a blend with Assam black tea, so it naturally contains caffeine. It is best suited for morning and afternoon as a milder alternative to coffee.

How to properly prepare the tea?

For a cup of approximately 180 ml, use water at a temperature of 95–100 °C and steep the blend for 3–5 minutes, then strain. For a more pronounced chai profile, you can use a little more blend or steep longer according to taste.

Can it be made into "chai latte" or iced chai?

Yes. For chai latte, prepare a stronger infusion, top up with heated milk or plant-based drink (e.g., 1:1) and sweeten to taste with honey or another sweetener. For iced chai, chill the infusion, serve with ice, and optionally add milk and a little syrup.

What is the taste and how to sweeten it?

The profile is distinctly ginger with a richly spiced base: cinnamon, cardamom, black cardamom, and clove on the full body of Assam black tea. Sweetening is not necessary; if desired, just a drop of honey, a pinch of sugar, or a little syrup according to your taste.

Are there any ingredients in the blend to watch out for?

The blend contains black tea (caffeine, tannins) and multiple types of spices – especially ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, black cardamom, and clove. If you have known sensitivity to black tea or spiced drinks, consider caution and start with a smaller dose.

Is it suitable during pregnancy or when taking medication?

Because it contains caffeine and strong spices, it is advisable to consult its consumption with a healthcare provider during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and when taking certain medications. Adjust the dose and frequency according to individual recommendations.

How many servings can I prepare from the package?

From a package of 80 g, you can usually prepare approximately 25–35 cups, depending on the dosage and desired strength of the infusion. For chai latte or iced chai, you may use a little more blend per cup.

How to store the tea and how long does it stay fresh?

Store in a dry, dark place in a well-sealed package, away from foreign scents and moisture. For the best taste and aroma, we recommend consuming the tea by the best before date indicated on the package; after opening, ideally within a few months, depending on how pronounced a profile you prefer.
