📍 Origin: India
Warm, aromatic nutmeg (jayfal) — adding a sweet, woody depth and natural warmth to our premium chai blends.
In Our Chai
Nutmeg in chai (jayfal) adds a warm, slightly sweet depth — a signature Ayurvedic spice in premium chai patti blends.
Nutmeg adds a warm, slightly sweet complexity to chai that no other spice can replicate. We use it sparingly — a little nutmeg goes a long way — to add depth without heaviness.
In our Flavourful Chai, Delightful Chai, and Calcutta Street CTC Chai, nutmeg works alongside cardamom and other spices to create a layered, aromatic experience.
You can taste Nutmeg in our hand-blended chai range — try it in Flavourful Chai, Delightful Chai, and Calcutta Street CTC Chai. Each blend pairs Nutmeg with carefully balanced complementary spices.
Learn more about the science of Nutmeg — known botanically as Myristica fragrans in the Wikipedia entry on Nutmeg, which covers its history, botanical classification, and traditional uses.
Nutmeg and mace come from the same fruit — nutmeg is the seed, while mace is the lacy red covering around it. Both are used in Indian chai for their warm, aromatic properties.
