Denver's Most Authentic Masala Chai Tea
Last updated:
SPICE ROOM's Masala Chai is hand-brewed to order with fresh ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and Assam tea leaves simmered in whole milk. No powder or concentrate. Hot or iced at three Denver locations.
About This Dish
Masala Chai is more than a drink – it's a ritual, a warm embrace, and the heartbeat of Indian hospitality. At SPICE ROOM, we brew our chai the way it's been made in Indian kitchens and street-side chai wallahs for centuries: fresh whole spices simmered with loose-leaf Assam tea and creamy whole milk.
Our signature blend starts with crushing fresh ginger and green cardamom, then adding cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and black peppercorns. These aromatics are simmered in water until fragrant, then Assam CTC tea leaves are added for bold, malty depth. Finally, whole milk is poured in and the chai is brought to a rolling boil – the traditional technique that creates chai's characteristic creamy, frothy top.
Every cup is made to order, ensuring maximum freshness and aroma. Whether you enjoy it as a warming start to your meal, a soothing dessert companion alongside Gulab Jamun, or simply as an afternoon pick-me-up, our Masala Chai delivers the authentic taste of India in every sip. We also offer iced chai for warmer Denver days.
Key Ingredients
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Masala Chai?
Masala Chai is India's traditional spiced tea. "Masala" means spice blend and "Chai" means tea. Our version uses fresh ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns simmered with Assam tea and whole milk.
Is your Masala Chai made fresh?
Yes! Every cup is brewed to order with freshly crushed spices and loose-leaf tea. We never use pre-made chai concentrate or powder – just real spices and real tea leaves.
Can I get Masala Chai dairy-free?
Absolutely! We can substitute oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version. The spice flavors still shine through beautifully.
Do you serve iced chai?
Yes! Our iced Masala Chai is brewed strong, sweetened, and served over ice – perfect for warm Colorado days. It's one of our most popular summer beverages.
How is Masala Chai different from a chai latte?
Most Western chai lattes use pre-made syrup or powder. Our Masala Chai is brewed traditionally from scratch with whole spices, resulting in a more aromatic, complex, and authentic flavor.
