Basilur Masala Chai black tea - an oriental blend full of warming spices
Basilur Masala Chai is a unique composition inspired by traditional Indian chai tea, prepared using high-quality Ceylon loose-leaf tea. The combination of intense black tea and aromatic spices creates an infusion with a deep, warming character and a rich flavor profile. The ingredients include cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper, which give the brew a distinct spicy note and pleasant piquancy.
Once brewed, the tea delights with its amber color and intense aroma of warming spices. Cinnamon provides a natural sweetness, ginger adds a characteristic warming accent, while cardamom and cloves enrich the composition with an oriental scent. It is an excellent choice for cooler days, quiet evenings, and moments of relaxation with a cup full of exotic flavors.

Black tea brewing time
How to prepare black tea:
Pour water at 90°C over the tea
⏰ Brewing time should be between 3 and 5 minutes
Brew black tea just the way you like it best:
up to 3 minutes - you will get a highly refreshing and stimulating infusion
up to 5 minutes - the infusion will contain less caffeine, and its effect will be more relaxing
Brewing for too long makes the infusion taste bitter, but it does not make it contain more caffeine or be more stimulating.
On the contrary - the tannins that develop with each additional minute, giving a bitter taste, neutralize the effects of the theine.
What is black tea and how does it differ from green tea?
Black tea consists of fully oxidized leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike green (unoxidized) tea, it produces a darker infusion, has a fuller flavor (with malty, chocolatey, and spicy notes), and a more pronounced aroma.
How much caffeine does black tea have?
On average 40–70 mg of caffeine per 250 ml, depending on the variety, the amount of leaves, and the brewing time. This is less than an average cup of coffee, but the stimulating effect is gentler and longer-lasting.
Is black tea healthy?
Contains polyphenols and natural antioxidants. Moderate consumption is fine for most people. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to caffeine, or taking medication, consult your doctor.
What are the most popular types of black tea?
Ceylon/Sri Lanka: clean, citrusy freshness, medium strength.
Assam (India): strong, malty, great with milk.
Darjeeling (India): lighter, floral-muscatel (often called the "champagne of teas").
Yes. Milk suits strong teas (Assam, English Breakfast). Lemon brightens lighter profiles (Ceylon). Do not combine milk and lemon at the same time — the tea may curdle.
