Bay Leaf (Tej Patta) — Warm Herbal Depth

In Our Chai

Bay leaf in chai (tej patta) brings a subtle earthiness — one of the quieter but essential spices in traditional masala chai patti.

Bay leaf is a foundational herb in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic medicine. Its warm, slightly floral aroma adds a subtle background depth that makes a chai blend feel more complete and complex.

In our Ayurvedic CTC Chai and Turmeric CTC Chai, bay leaf works quietly in the background — you may not identify it individually, but you would notice if it were missing.

You can taste Bay Leaf in our hand-blended chai range — try it in Ayurvedic CTC Chai and Turmeric CTC Chai. Each blend pairs Bay Leaf with carefully balanced complementary spices.

Learn more about the science of Bay Leaf — known botanically as Cinnamomum tamala in the Wikipedia entry on Bay leaf, which covers its history, botanical classification, and traditional uses.
