Cardamom Chai in Sunnyvale
Cardamom chai — elaichi chai — is the single-spice classic: black tea, milk and green cardamom, which gives the cup a fresh, slightly citrusy fragrance. Many people's first chai is this one, and in a lot of Indian homes it is the everyday brew. The cafe makes it to order with new tea leaves for every single cup, so the cardamom is brewed in and still aromatic at the counter.
Pairs Well With
Bun Maska is the textbook pairing; Samosa Bun or Cheese Chutney Bun for something savory; Pani Puri if you are grazing through the street-food list.
Good to Know
On the order page every chai comes in a required size choice of 8 oz or 12 oz. Cardamom Chai is a good middle point on the list — more fragrant than Kadak Chai, less layered than Masala Chai.
