Peacock Chai - The Newest Arrival by Centuries
A cup of Peacock Chai is a study in layers: bark, buds, roots, pods, seeds, and a single dark leaf, all steeping together. Every spice in the pot has centuries of history in Indian kitchens and medicine cabinets, but the tea leaf is the newcomer—folded into tradition by circumstance, not design. The result is a cup that feels ancient, yet is younger than it seems, its seams invisible but still there if you look.
Today's cup: Peacock Chai — Camellia sinensis, ginger, cloves, pepper berries, cinnamon, fennel, cardamom, black pepper, pink peppercorns, agave.
