From the notebook of our Master Tea Blender comes a chai inspired by one of India's most loved desserts — Kulfi. A robust black tea is gently layered with crushed cardamom and fennel, just as it has been prepared for generations, then finished with salted pistachios and a whisper of dried rose petals — bringing the richness and aroma of traditional kulfi into a teacup.
The result is a chai that's warmly spiced and nutty, with a delicate floral finish, capturing the nostalgic flavours of India's favourite frozen treat in every sip.

How to Brew Kulfi Chai

Why Kulfi-Inspired Chai?
Kulfi, India's traditional dense, creamy ice cream, is typically flavoured with cardamom, pistachios, and sometimes rose — a flavour combination deeply familiar to Indian palates. This chai reimagines that same nostalgic profile in tea form, layering cardamom and fennel into a robust black tea base, then finishing with salted pistachios and rose petals for a cup that feels like dessert without the ice cream.
