Kultainen Masala Chai

The loose leaves have such a deep, warming aroma even before brewing, and the turmeric pieces actually hold their own without overpowering the spices. I've been steeping it a bit longer than usual and getting this lovely golden color with a smooth, earthy finish that makes my afternoon cup feel like

The whole turmeric pieces from Sikkim really come through in the aroma before you even pour it, and the flavor sits warm and earthy underneath the spice. It's become my afternoon ritual and the complexity keeps me coming back for another cup.

I brewed this up this morning and that Himalayan turmeric really comes through, giving the chai a warm, earthy depth I haven’t tasted in other blends. The loose leaves are chunky and fresh, and the whole pieces make the whole kitchen smell incredible while it steeps.
