Why Whole Cardamom, Not Powder?
Cardamom powder available in market loses its volatile oils — the compounds responsible for its signature fragrance — within weeks of grinding. Before the Blending we Grind the Whole cardamom at our unit and fresh Ground Cardamom powder is blended which retains those oils until the moment it meets heat. In every batch of Lakhi's Kesar Elaichi, the flavour releases fresh with every brew, The result: a chai that smells and tastes alive, not flat.
The Base That Makes It Work
The saffron and cardamom need a tea strong enough to support them — something with enough body to carry the spices without being overwhelmed. Lakhi's uses premium Assam CTC as the base: bold, malty, full-bodied. It holds the spices perfectly, delivering a cup that is fragrant but never weak, flavourful but never overpowering.
