Fennel
सौंफ (Saunf)
Foeniculum vulgare
📍 Origin: India
Sweet, aromatic fennel seeds (saunf) — a classic Indian digestive spice that adds gentle sweetness to our Ayurvedic Chai.
In Our Chai
Fennel in chai (saunf) is naturally cooling, digestive-friendly, and adds a subtle sweet note to Indian chai.
Fennel seeds are a staple of Indian cuisine and wellness — you will find them at the exit of almost every Indian restaurant as a natural mouth freshener and digestive aid.
In our Ayurvedic CTC Chai, fennel adds a mild, anise-like sweetness that balances the earthiness of turmeric and ashwagandha, making the blend genuinely enjoyable.
In India, saunf (fennel seeds) are the original after-dinner mint — offered at the end of every meal to freshen the breath and aid digestion. This tradition goes back thousands of years.
