Black tea is by far the most consumed tea in India, particularly from the major regions Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri. It is often prepared as masala chai, brewed with milk, sugar, and spices such as cardamom or ginger. Indian black tea is renowned for its strong aroma and remains an essential daily drink, both at home and outside.
Dry Indian products generally last between 12 and 36 months after production, depending on the spice and storage conditions. The date on the package is a "Best Before" date (BBE): beyond it, the products remain safe to consume but may lose some of their aromatic intensity (source). To preserve flavors, it is recommended to store them in an airtight container, away from light, humidity, and heat.
“In India, the very first gesture in the morning is often preparing a chai. It is a moment of transition: its aroma fills the house, gently awakens the senses, and gathers the family around a simple yet warm gesture. This morning ritual is not just a habit, but a way to root the day in energy, conviviality, and harmony.”
