Review Factors
What are we looking for? A cup of deliciously aromatic tea. The floral flavors of rose in Gulabo and the rich warmth of saffron in Saff Zaff.
While reviewing Samaara Teas, we have set the following review parameters:
1. Flavor
The following pointers were checked here:
- How strong/kadak is the chai?
- How is the overall flavor of the tea?
- Are the different flavorings (saffron/rose) prominent?
What is CTC Tea? CTC tea stands for Crush, Tear, Curl tea This technique of processing tea leaves is frequently employed in the creation of black teas. With this approach, the tea leaves are broken down into tiny pellets by crushing, tearing, and curling them. This method produces a stronger, bolder flavor by accelerating the oxidation of the tea leaves and extracting more flavor.
2. Color
The appearance of the final chai color also proved crucial in our testing phase. How appealing does the final cup of chai look? How does the tea look with and without milk?
3. Aroma
How bold and enticing is the aroma of these teas considering the flavorings added (rose and saffron)?
In addition, also noted information on the price, packaging and shelf life.

1. Samaaara Gulabo Rose Black Tea
Product Details
A 250 gm pet jar is priced at Rs. 499. It has a shelf life of 1 year.
The key ingredients are : black tea and natural rose flavor.
Our Take
While this CTC tea may seem ordinary at first glance, as soon as you open the jar, you will be greeted with a strong and wonderful rose aroma. The aroma does not feel artificial at any point, but it is rather gentle.
The first sip was a delightful surprise, wherein the strength of a good “kadak” chai , subtle sweetness and floral notes of rose all come together beautifully. The best part? The rose flavor does not come out boldly.
Talking about the strength – this tea offers that gratifying “kadak” sensation that revives you in the morning or offers a soothing warmth in the evening.
- Delightful rose aroma and flavor
- Pleasant kadak chai feels
- Reusable pet jar packaging
If you want to explore a fresh and thrilling tea flavor with delicate hints of rose, you will love Samaara’s Gulabo CTC tea.
2. Samaara Saff Zaff Saffron Black Tea
Product Details
Samaara’s Saff Zaff tea comes in a resealable pouch pack. A 250 gm pack is priced at Rs. 285. This has 1 year of shelf life.
The main ingredients seen here are : Black tea, Natural flavor (Saffron) (5%), Saffron.
Our Take
This chai patti might resemble your regular chai initially, but the dominant, rich and warm aroma of saffron is surely unmissable. We could also see a few strands of saffron in the pack.
Straight from the initial sip, you will be welcomed with a harmonious blend of flavors. In addition to the characteristic flavor of CTC tea, this combines subtle and sweet undertones of saffron. The saffron flavor is not dominant here but it is mild in the sense that it will uplift your entire experience while preserving its traditional chai essence.
Apart from a delightful aroma and flavor, this tea excels strength-wise too. It beautifully delivers the satisfying kadak chai feeling we all expect out of a cup of tea.
In contrast to certain strong teas that can be overpowering, Saff Zaff is pleasant and smooth, allowing you to appreciate its unique flavor without becoming overwhelmed.
- Warming aroma of saffron
- Eye-catching packaging
- Excellent quality
- Delightful kadak chai
If you want to elevate your chai experience with a distinctive and delicious touch of luxury, Saff Zaff is the perfect choice!
