Gryphon Tea Masala Chai

The Masala Chai at Gryphon is a rich and aromatic beverage, featuring a robust black tea base that is infused with a blend of traditional warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. This flavorful brew is then finished with steamed milk and can be sweetened to taste, resulting in a creamy, fragrant, and comforting drink that is perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Masala Chai, which translates to "spiced tea," originated in India and has become a beloved beverage worldwide. It was historically developed as a way to prepare strong black tea, with the addition of spices, milk, and sugar creating the balanced and flavorful drink that is now a staple of daily life and hospitality in many cultures. Gryphon is famous in Savannah as the elegant dining room for the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), housed in a beautifully restored historic apothecary. Its reputation for providing a sophisticated and traditional tea service makes it a must-visit destination.
