Black Pepper (Kali Mirch) — King of Spices

In Our Chai

Black pepper in chai (kali mirch) adds a gentle heat that wakes up the palate and amplifies every other spice.

Black pepper does double duty in our chai: it adds a gentle, warming pungency and — crucially — its piperine content increases the bioavailability of other spice compounds by up to 2,000%. This means the curcumin in turmeric, the gingerol in ginger, and the eugenol in cloves all become far more effective.

We source premium Indian black pepper — known for its high piperine content and complex flavour. In our Flavourful Chai, it completes the four-spice masala with a gentle kick.

You can taste Black Pepper in our hand-blended chai range — try it in Chocolate CTC Chai, Tulsi Ginger CTC Chai, and Ayurvedic CTC Chai. Each blend pairs Black Pepper with carefully balanced complementary spices.

Learn more about the science of Black Pepper — known botanically as Piper nigrum in the Wikipedia entry on Black pepper, which covers its history, botanical classification, and traditional uses.
