Experience the essence of ancient Cochin with this delightful chai, a beloved beverage that embodies the rich history and cultural blend of Southern India. Cochin, known as the Gateway of Southern India, has witnessed the reign of various rulers throughout the centuries, leaving a diverse and fascinating legacy. From the Zamorin of Kozhikode and the Kublai Khan to the influence of the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and ultimately Indian rule, Cochin's vibrant past is woven into its cultural tapestry.
Drawing inspiration from this fusion of cultures, we present a captivating chai blend that pays homage to Cochin's culinary heritage. Just as Cochin Masala represents a flavorful mix of coconut, ground red chilies, dal, coriander, and turmeric, this chai captures the essence of this iconic spice blend. Infused with traditional Indian spices, including aromatic cardamom, warming cinnamon, and invigorating ginger, this chai is a harmonious symphony of flavors.
While traditionally brewed with milk instead of water, you can achieve a similar effect by brewing the tea in the usual manner and adding warm milk. As you savor each sip, allow yourself to be transported to the ancient streets of Cochin, where the mingling aromas and flavors create an enchanting experience. Embrace the spirit of this historic city with a cup of this superb tea, celebrating the traditions and cultural diversity that define Cochin.
