Bombay Cutting Chai – Authentic Mumbai Ginger Cardamom Tea (500g)

Bombay Cutting Chai brings the iconic energy of Mumbai’s legendary street-side tapris right into your kitchen. This isn’t just tea — it’s an experience. We’ve combined a high-intensity CTC Black Tea base with the classic duo of hand-crushed Ginger and Green Cardamom to give you that sharp, spicy, and soul-warming “Kadak” kick that Mumbai is famous for.

The name “Cutting Chai” comes from Mumbai’s unique tea culture — at tapri stalls, one cup of strong chai is “cut” into two half-glasses and shared between friends. It’s meant to be strong, hot, and drunk quickly while standing at the stall. This bombay cutting chai recreates that exact intensity at home.

Why You’ll Love Bombay Cutting Chai

This bombay cutting chai is engineered for maximum impact with minimum complexity — just two spices, but used in the exact proportions that Mumbai chaiwalas have perfected over decades:

• The “Kadak” Base: A strong, full-bodied CTC tea that holds its own against generous amounts of milk and sugar, creating that signature deep amber colour and robust body.
• Real Ginger (Adrak): Not powdered, not flavouring — hand-crushed dry ginger that delivers a warming, spicy kick and traditional Ayurvedic character.
• Green Cardamom (Elaichi): A refreshing, sweet-spicy aroma that perfectly balances the ginger’s heat and adds a premium, aromatic quality to every cup.
• Authentic Tapri Taste: Specifically formulated to replicate the famous Bombay “Cutting” style — strong, hot, and full of character.
• 100% Natural: No artificial “chai masala” powders or synthetic flavours — just pure tea and real spices.

Health Benefits of Bombay Cutting Chai

This bombay cutting chai is not just delicious — it’s genuinely good for you:

• Ginger traditionally valued for digestive comfort, removes stomach-related issues, helps traditionally used during seasonal changes, and used in traditional Indian wellness practices
• Cardamom relieves gas, acidity, and stomach pain, freshens the palate, and assists in balanced wellness
• CTC Black Tea provides natural compounds and a steady energy boost without the crash of coffee
• The combination is particularly effective during monsoon and winter seasons when you want traditional warmth and comfort

How to Make the Perfect Bombay Cutting Chai

The key to authentic bombay cutting chai is the double-boil technique — here’s how:

1. Boil: Take 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk in a pan.
2. Add: Add 2 heaped teaspoons of Bombay Cutting Chai.
3. Sweeten: Add sugar or jaggery as per your taste.
4. Simmer: Let it come to 2–3 boils (the “Cutting” secret) until the tea turns a rich, creamy brown.
5. Serve: Strain into a small glass — not a cup — and enjoy!

Pro Tip: For the most authentic experience, serve in a small glass tumbler, not a mug. The glass keeps the chai hot, and the small portion ensures you drink it while it’s at peak flavour — just like a real Mumbai tapri!

Storage: Store in an airtight container away from heat, sunlight, and moisture to preserve the ginger and cardamom potency.
