If you like to know more – insights for true connoisseurs
Drinking Indian tea is not only a delicious way to take a “journey” to India, but also an introduction to the wisdom of its culture – and to one of the world’s oldest systems of natural medicine: Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is a traditional Indian philosophy of wellness that seeks to restore balance between body, mind, and spirit. Its name comes from the Sanskrit words “ayuh” (life) and “veda” (knowledge), meaning “the knowledge of life.” Rooted in nature, it teaches how to use the forces of the natural world to support health and harmony.
What does Ayurveda say about Indian Chai?
The richness of Ayurveda cannot be explained in just a few lines, but here’s a glimpse:
According to Ayurvedic principles, tea can influence the balance of the three doshas (life energies): vata, pitta, and kapha. The properties of a tea depend on both the type of leaves and the spices added. For instance, black tea – the base of chai – is stimulating and warming, helping to balance vata and kapha types. Spices like ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon are known for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and warming effects, supporting digestion and strengthening immunity.

Growing Indian tea – a glimpse into the tea fields of India
Tea cultivation in India is vital to the country’s economy, as tea is one of its leading export products. The most famous regions – Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri – offer the perfect soil and climate for growing high-quality tea.
India produces mainly black, green, and white teas, along with spiced blends such as masala chai. Cultivation begins with planting young tea bushes, which, once mature, are harvested regularly. The fresh leaves then undergo withering, fermentation, drying, and sorting – transforming them into the finished teas we enjoy. Tea farming, however, also impacts the environment, requiring significant amounts of water and often pesticides. That’s why in recent years, organic and eco-friendly methods of cultivation have been gaining popularity, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring a more sustainable future.
Tea is more than just a drink in India – it’s a way of life. The figure of the chaiwala (tea vendor) is iconic, serving countless cups on busy streets and in bustling markets. To understand Indian tea is to understand a piece of India’s culture, history, and daily rhythm.
