Chalo Chai Discovery Box — 6 Flavours, 6 Servings
Meet the easiest (and most delicious) way to explore authentic chai at home or in your café. The Chalo Chai Discovery Box gathers six signature chai latte flavours in one compact sampler, giving you a guided tour of spice-forward Indian tea culture without committing to a full-size bag. Each single-serve sachet is pre-measured for one generous chai latte; simply add hot milk (or a plant-based alternative), whisk, and sip. It’s a thoughtful tea gift set, a smart menu-tasting tool for baristas, and a flavour playground for anyone who loves specialty tea and modern tea blends.
Chalo’s approach is simple: start with quality black tea, add real spices, and balance them for a café-style chai that’s easy to prepare and consistent every time. The discovery format lets you compare and contrast spice profiles side by side—Masala’s classic warmth, Cardamom’s perfume, Vanilla’s comfort, Lemongrass’s brightness, Chini Masala’s lighter sweetness, and Golden Turmeric’s glow—so you can identify your go-to flavour for daily sipping and your “wow” flavour for guests. If you run a coffee shop, this box doubles as a low-risk menu research kit; if you’re brewing at home, it’s your week of chai variety in one tidy package.
What’s Inside — 6 Flavours, One Serving Each
The Chai Discovery Box includes one portion of each of the following chai latte flavours: Authentic Masala, Cardamom Chai Latte, Vanilla Indian Chai, Lemongrass Chai Latte, Masala Chini Chai (reduced sugar), and Golden Chai Turmeric. These six sachets allow you to taste the core of Chalo’s range before you stock up on a favourite.
Crafted for Real-World Tea Lovers
Chai is more than spiced tea; it’s an invitation to slow down, to wrap your hands around a warm mug and let spices unfold. Every culture that embraces tea has its own ritual. In India, masala chai (spiced, milk-based tea) is part daily comfort, part social glue, and endlessly customizable. You’ll feel that heritage in each sachet—balanced spice, layered aroma, and an unmistakable tea backbone that stands up beautifully to milk. The discovery box format elevates that experience by letting you taste how small changes in spice blend create big shifts in the cup, from citrus-laced brightness to dessert-like depth.
Flavour Tour: How Each Chai Shines
Authentic Masala delivers the archetypal chai latte profile: ginger’s warmth, cardamom’s gentle lift, cinnamon’s coziness, often anchored by black pepper’s subtle tingle. It’s the flavour most people imagine when they order “a chai,” and it pairs effortlessly with everything from almond croissants to savoury breakfast wraps. Expect a rounded cup with pronounced spice on the nose and a creamy, lingering finish when prepared with whole milk or a full-bodied oat milk.
Cardamom Chai Latte leans into a perfumed, almost floral aromatic. Cardamom’s naturally sweet character amplifies the tea’s inherent malt, creating a cup that tastes elegant without being delicate. If you love Scandinavian cardamom buns, Middle Eastern desserts, or the aroma of freshly crushed pods, this sachet will be your first to run out.
Vanilla Indian Chai is pure comfort—think bakery-fresh vanilla with warm spice humming underneath. The vanilla softens the edges of ginger and cinnamon, making this a crowd-pleaser for new chai drinkers and a decadent “dessert tea” for seasoned fans. For cafés, it’s a proven gateway flavour that consistently converts latte loyalists to tea lattes.
Lemongrass Chai Latte brightens the chai spectrum with lemony lift and herbal freshness. The zesty top notes cut through milk richness, yielding an exceptionally refreshing hot chai and an even better iced chai. If your palate prefers citrus-driven tea blends, start here; if you run a shop, this is your summer menu workhorse.
Masala Chini Chai is the lighter, less-sweet take. You still get the core masala chai profile—ginger, cinnamon, cardamom—but with sugar dialed back so more of the tea and spice structure shines. It’s the pick for customers who want bold spice without heavy sweetness, and it’s perfect as a base for barista syrups or house-made reductions.
Golden Chai Turmeric adds turmeric’s earthy glow and familiar “golden milk” vibes to the masala framework. The result feels restorative and cozy, especially on cooler evenings. Turmeric’s gentle bitterness and ginger’s warmth give the cup a satisfying, savory-sweet complexity that pairs beautifully with honey or date syrup.
Why a Discovery Box Makes Sense
For home brewers, six single-serve sachets mean zero guesswork, zero waste, and a full flavour tour in under a week. For cafés, it’s a cost-effective way to perform tasting flights with staff, run mini focus groups with regulars, and decide which full-size chai latte powders to stock. Because every portion is measured, your team can evaluate flavour, sweetness level, foam stability, and milk compatibility under consistent conditions—exactly the kind of data that turns a good tea program into a great one.
Brewing Made Simple: Consistent, Café-Style Chai
One sachet equals one chai latte. Heat 200–240 ml of your preferred milk (dairy, oat, almond, soy), whisk in the sachet until smooth, and serve. For iced chai, dissolve the sachet in a splash of hot water or hot milk, then top with cold milk and ice. Because the blend is optimized for milk-based preparation, you get a café-style texture at home without simmering spices or straining. That convenience is a game-changer whether you’re brewing at 7 a.m. before a commute, dialing in service during a café rush, or creating consistent tea beverages across multiple locations.
Barista Tips: Dial It Like Espresso (But Easier)
Think of chai the way you think of espresso recipes: small adjustments to milk type, temperature, and dilution produce noticeable results. Full-fat dairy yields a silky, dense body and classic café sweetness. Oat milk gives you gloss and a neutral backdrop for spice. Almond and cashew milks skew lighter and nuttier; soy offers the protein you need for latte art. For most flavours, 60–65 °C is the sweet spot for steaming—hot enough to bloom spice aromatics without scorching. If you latte-art, pour just as you would a flat white; the microfoam will support clean lines in tulips and hearts, especially with vanilla and masala.
Dirty Chai & Menu Extensions
“Dirty chai” (chai plus a shot of espresso) delivers café-level complexity without recipe overhaul. Pull a 25–30 ml shot, whisk your chai sachet with hot milk, and blend the two. Masala and Chini Masala handle the coffee’s bittersweet intensity like pros; Cardamom and Vanilla create a pastry-like profile; Lemongrass and Golden Turmeric make surprisingly sophisticated iced dirty chais for summer menus. Want a tea-forward alternative? Build an “Uplift Latte” by mixing chai with a shot of concentrated black tea instead of espresso. Your customers get all the ritual with a gentler caffeine curve—perfect for afternoon orders.
Chai × Matcha — The Best of Tea Blends
While this box focuses on chai latte powders, it also plays beautifully with matcha if you enjoy tea blends. A half-sachet of Masala or Vanilla folded into a whisked ceremonial matcha creates a layered “matcha chai” latte with vivid green colour and warm spice depth. Use hot milk for comfort or cold milk and ice for a lighter, creamy drink. The key is balance: start with a 2:1 ratio (milk-forward chai to matcha) and adjust to taste. This cross-over appeals to matcha fans seeking spice complexity and chai fans curious about premium green tea energy.
The Gifting Angle: Tea Lovers, Newcomers & “Hard to Shop For” Friends
As a tea gift set, the discovery box is hard to beat: compact, affordable, and instantly useful. It suits the friend who already loves café chai lattes and the one who’s tea-curious but overwhelmed by options. Include a note card with simple hot and iced instructions, plus a suggestion to try dirty chai or a matcha-chai blend. The result is a present that gets opened, used, and remembered—exactly what gift-givers want.

Serving Ideas Beyond the Mug
Chai syrup: dissolve a sachet in a small amount of hot water to make a quick syrup. Drizzle over pancakes and French toast, or add to iced coffee for a spiced mocha riff. Chai affogato: whisk a sachet into warm milk and pour over vanilla gelato; the spices cut through the sweetness and create a café-dessert moment. Baking: fold reconstituted chai into buttercreams, glaze doughnuts with a chai-vanilla icing, or whip into cream for topping pumpkin pie. Smoothies: blend iced chai with frozen banana and Greek yogurt for a protein-rich breakfast that drinks like dessert. Mocktails: shake Lemongrass chai with cold-brew tea, lemon juice, and soda for a bright spritz; garnish with mint.
Sustainability & Storage
Single-serve sachets help reduce waste by keeping portions exact and product fresh until use. Store the box in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight; if you’re in a high-humidity climate or run a café, consider an airtight container once the sachets are opened. Always reseal any partially used packet if you split a serving between hot and iced drinks. Good storage preserves spice aromatics, ensuring every cup tastes as lively as the first.
Frequently Asked (Smart) Questions
Is this tea-based or herbal? Chai latte blends are tea-based, built on black tea with spices. You’ll get a familiar caffeine lift, smoother than coffee, and easy to tailor by using more or less milk.
Does each sachet equal one drink? Yes—one sachet is measured for one full chai latte. If you prefer a lighter or stronger cup, adjust milk volume slightly.
Can I make it vegan? Absolutely. Use oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. Oat milk tends to create the creamiest, most café-like body.
Hot or iced? Both. Dissolve the sachet in a splash of hot liquid first for iced versions, then top with cold milk and ice.
What’s the best flavour to start with? For classic chai, try Authentic Masala or Chini Masala (less sugar). For a dessert-leaning cup, start with Vanilla. For bright, refreshing profiles, Lemongrass is ideal. Turmeric is a cozy evening favourite; Cardamom is pure aromatic joy.
Honest Expectations: What This Product Is (and Isn’t)
This is a fast, reliable path to café-style chai—no steeping loose tea, no simmering whole spices, no filtering. It’s single-serve convenience with real spice character, designed to shine with milk. If you want the ritual of simmering and straining, look to whole-spice chai masalas and loose-leaf teas; if you want consistent, scalable results across a household or café, the discovery box format is tough to beat. The sampler size is also kinder to new drinkers who may be undecided about sweetness levels and spice intensity; you can test everything first, then scale up with confidence.

Whether you’re a tea traditionalist, a coffee-first barista adding more non-coffee options, or a matcha lover hunting for spice-friendly blends, the Chalo Chai Discovery Box is a simple, satisfying way to broaden your tea repertoire. Across six flavours and six ready-to-brew servings, you get a crash course in chai latte profiles, a framework for dialing in your perfect cup, and a set of flavours that play beautifully with milk, espresso, and even ceremonial matcha.
