Emily ★★★★★

I brewed a cup this morning and the kitchen instantly smelled like a proper Calcutta stall, even though I'm miles away. The spice blend is bold but not overpowering, and the CTC leaves give it that strong, malty kick I crave with milk and sugar.

Charlotte D. ★★★☆☆

The spice blend is bold, almost too bold for me—it drowns out the CTC base a bit, but the street chai vibe does come through. I’d say it’s decent if you like a heavy masala kick, though I’m reaching for a lighter cup by mid-morning.

Owen ★★★☆☆

The street-chai vibe is real—the spice blend comes through nicely and it brews up strong, just like from a stall. That said, it's a bit one-note for me after the first cup, and the CTC leaves get bitter if you steep it even a minute too long. Fine for a quick fix, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiec
