Sattwa Chai is brewed and steeped. Chai starts with real tea leaves and whole spices. The process of creating it is a dance of timing, temperature, and technique.
All proper chai wallas go through a process that is designed to create the taste profile and marry the sweet, spicy, warming, reassuring clean tang. Chai starts simply with a flame and a kettle, then some of the spices, watching and waiting until the flavor hits a point where the tea can be steeped, sweetness added, spices with other timing added and tweaked…watching the ribbons of flavor blend and steam.
It’s not a process that relies on mere words or recipe, it’s part instinct and art and that’s how we make Sattwa. It’s a steamy blend that requires all hands on deck and visceral response to know exactly when and how to hit all of the right notes.
