Hey!
You must be wondering - “I’ve been hearing about this Spiced Chai, what exactly is it and what’s so good about it?”. Well, you’re at the right place.
I’m going to be breaking down our Spiced Chai for you, and share the benefits of consuming our Spiced Chai.
Origins of “Chai”
“Chai” is a Hindi term for tea, originating from a Chinese Cantonese dialect “Cha”. “Cha” was later spread from the ports of Hong Kong and Macau, which then spread to India. While “Chai” is a term for tea, it is known widely today as a beverage that consists of spices, milk and tea.
Nuuma’s Spiced Chai
Our Spiced Chai consists of premium ingredients such as Ceylon black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, pepper and nutmeg. When steeped in boiling water, each spices releases its own nodes of spices. Cardamom has a warm, spicy node while cinnamon has a slightly sweeter node. When combined, it creates a harmonious blend that makes you keep wanting more. When then infused with boiled milk or milk of choice, the sweetness of milk compliments the flavor of the spices.
Benefits:
There are multiple benefits to drinking Nuuma’s Spiced or Sticky Chai. Some of them includes:
Brings warmth and calmness - We all know Singapore doesn’t have a sweater season but when we do get hit with intense rainfall, it can get pretty chilly. A cup of warm Chai is just so soothing to the soul, and just hits the right spot.
Anti-inflammatory - Ingredients such as ginger and cinnamon are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Antioxidant - Cinnamon is known for its antioxidant properties too. Did you know, that according to ancient Chinese literature, Cinnamon was widely used in China and Japan to treat inflammation and fevers?
Increases alertness - I’d pick a cup of Chai over coffee any day because caffeine gives me the jitters. Nuuma’s Spiced Chai has Ceylon black tea which has a small amount of caffeine that is just right to give you the level if alertness needed.
While the list is not exhaustive, these benefits are ample for you to try Nuuma’s Spiced Chai. We’re excited to hear your experience sipping our Spiced Chai. If you’d like, you may click here to purchase a pack of our very own, handcrafted Spiced Chai blend.
