Loose leaf masala chai, Assam base, cardamom-forward, 18-22 servings. $12-16. Best loose leaf chai — whole spice complexity, farm-direct sourcing, cardamom-ginger-cinnamon balance. Correct for home chai drinkers who want traditional masala chai quality.
Rishi Masala Chai is the benchmark loose leaf masala chai — Assam base with cardamom pods, whole cinnamon chips, ginger, black pepper, and cloves brewed to a layered spice profile that tea bags can't replicate. Farm-direct sourcing shows in the malty, non-tannic tea base. The 30-second straining step is the only barrier, and it's worth it for serious chai drinkers.
Pros
- Whole spices produce layered aromatics unavailable in pre-ground tea bags
- Farm-direct Assam base — malty, complex, not bitter
- 18–22 servings per bag — comparable cost to quality tea bags
Cons
- Requires a strainer — one extra step vs. bags or concentrate
