Sourcing & Origin
Chai Masala is a quintessential Pan-Indian spice blend, its character defined by the quality of its constituent spices. Treedha’s blend features premium cardamom primarily from the lush Western Ghats of India, celebrated for its intense fragrance and robust flavour profile. Black pepper is sourced from the Malabar coast, a region historically synonymous with superior pepper quality.
The diverse origins of these individual spices, from sea-level Malabar to the high-grown plantations of the Ghats, contribute to a complex and authentic flavour. This meticulous sourcing from specific Indian terroirs ensures a distinctive aroma and taste, critical for bulk buyers seeking consistency and genuine provenance in their masala chai spice blend offerings.
