Description

What is it

Chitarathai (Alpinia officinarum) is a cousin of ginger with a reddish, knotty rhizome and a sharp, peppery-camphor aroma. Many Tamil grandmothers kept a piece to chew when the throat felt scratchy.

Siddha tradition values it for throat and digestive wellness. Our tea is made from the dried rhizome.

What Makes This Different

• Rhizome only. Made from chitarathai rhizome alone, nothing else.
• Warm and spicy. Sharper and more aromatic than ginger.
• Naturally caffeine-free. Pure herb, with no tea leaves, flavourings or sweeteners.

What It Does

• A traditional Siddha rhizome. Valued for throat and digestive wellness.
• A grandmother’s pocket herb. Chewed in small pieces in many Tamil homes.
