How to Brew

    Why It Matters

    Timing Changes Everything

    The same tea can taste completely different depending on how long it steeps. Here's what happens at each stage.

    Under-Brewed

    Weak, watery, and pale. The tea hasn't had time to release its full aroma or colour.

    Perfectly Brewed

    Rich colour, full-bodied aroma, balanced strength — exactly what our timer is calibrated for.

    Over-Brewed

    Bitter and harsh — masala chai releases tannins fast once past its ideal time, so straining on time matters.

    Pro Tips

    Brew Like a Tea Master

    💧

    Use Fresh Water

    Always start with fresh, cold water. Re-boiled water loses oxygen and flattens the flavour.

    🌡️

    Right Temperature

    A rolling boil (90-100°C) works best for CTC tea — unlike delicate green teas, it needs the heat.

    📦

    Store It Airtight

    Keep your Kamdhenu pack sealed and away from sunlight to preserve aroma for longer.

    Warm the Cup

    Rinse your cup with hot water first — a cold cup pulls down the temperature of your fresh brew.

    Common Questions

    Brewing FAQ

    Why do you boil the milk 3-4 times instead of just once?

    Letting the milk come to a boil a few times helps it blend fully with the tea and spices, giving the chai its characteristic rich colour and body — a single boil leaves it thin and under-brewed.

    Can I reuse the timer for green or herbal tea?

    This timer is calibrated specifically for Kamdhenu Tea. Green and herbal teas typically need lower water temperatures and shorter steep times.

    What if I like my chai stronger or milder than the default?

    Our timer gives the ideal balanced brew. Feel free to adjust ±30-60 seconds to match your personal taste once you know your preference.

    Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

    Yes — the countdown keeps going in the background, and you'll hear the bell sound when it's done, even if you're browsing another tab.
