1. Orika Idukki Green Bold Cardamom: A Spice with Tradition
At the heart of many traditional Indian recipes, Green Cardamom is known for its vibrant aroma and distinctive taste. Orika sources its Idukki Green Bold Cardamom from the lush plantations of Kerala’s Idukki region, renowned for producing some of the best cardamom in the world.
Why Idukki Cardamom is Special:
- Premium Quality: The cardamom pods from Idukki are bold, vibrant, and packed with flavor. These are handpicked to ensure only the highest quality makes it to your cup.
- Versatility: Cardamom isn’t just for tea. You can also use it in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. However, its primary role in this tea box is to enhance the flavor of your chai and kahwa, adding a sweet-spicy aroma to every sip.
- Health Benefits: Green cardamom is known for its digestive properties and can help relieve acidity and bloating. It’s also great for detoxifying the body and improving oral health.
By adding a couple of cardamom pods to your tea, you can instantly elevate the flavor profile, bringing a sweet, floral note that balances the richness of other spices.
2. Orika Indian Chai Masala: A Taste of Tradition
Chai is not just a beverage; it’s an experience, an emotion deeply embedded in Indian culture. Orika’s Indian Chai Masala brings together a perfect blend of spices to give you the authentic chai flavor right at home.
What’s Inside Orika Indian Chai Masala?
This chai masala is a carefully crafted blend of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and black pepper, among others. Each spice is chosen for its ability to enhance the depth and warmth of chai.
- Cinnamon: Adds a sweet, woody flavor with a subtle spicy kick.
- Black Pepper: Offers a hint of heat that balances the sweetness of the other spices.
- Cloves: Bring an earthy, slightly bitter edge that rounds out the spice blend.
- Ginger: Provides a refreshing, sharp zing to awaken your senses.
How to Use Chai Masala:
Making a cup of chai with Orika’s Chai Masala is simple. Add a pinch of the masala to boiling water with black tea leaves, milk, and sugar (if desired). Let the flavors infuse and strain before serving. The result? A perfectly spiced chai that warms the soul and refreshes the mind.
3. Orika Premium Kashmiri Kahwa (Sugar-free): The Essence of Kashmir
For a tea experience that transports you to the snow-capped mountains of Kashmir, Orika’s Premium Kashmiri Kahwa is the ultimate choice. This delicate blend of green tea, saffron, and spices offers a light, fragrant, and incredibly refreshing brew.
The Ingredients of Kahwa:
- Saffron: One of the most luxurious and prized spices in the world, saffron adds a subtle floral aroma and a golden hue to the tea.
- Cinnamon & Cardamom: These spices give the kahwa its warm and inviting flavor, which is balanced by the slight bitterness of green tea.
- Almonds: Traditionally, Kahwa is garnished with crushed almonds, adding texture and a rich nutty taste.
How to Brew Kahwa:
Simply brew the Orika Kashmiri Kahwa in hot water for 3-4 minutes. Since this blend is sugar-free, it’s a great option for those looking to enjoy a light, healthy beverage without added sweetness. For an authentic experience, garnish the tea with crushed almonds or saffron strands before serving. The result is a calming, fragrant brew that is perfect for cold mornings or evenings.
4. Ceramic Cups: A Touch of Elegance
The two ceramic cups included in the Gift of Warmth Tea Box are more than just vessels—they are part of the tea experience. These cups are designed to retain the warmth of the tea while offering a comfortable grip, making every sip enjoyable. Their elegant design complements the traditional essence of chai and kahwa, making them perfect for serving tea to guests or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection.
