At Rasm, we know one thing well, every chai lover has their own way. Some like it strong and kadak, others enjoy it milky and comforting. But when it comes to daily habits, many people wonder: black tea or milk tea, which one is better?
Let’s break it down simply.
What Is Black Tea?
Black tea is brewed using tea leaves and water, without milk. It has a strong flavour, deeper colour, and is often preferred by people who like their chai light yet energising.
Why people choose black tea:
Feels lighter on the stomach
Gives a quick energy boost
Often taken in the morning or after meals
Common in many homes across Bengal and North-East India
What Is Milk Tea?
Milk tea is the classic Indian chai — tea brewed with milk and sugar. It’s rich, filling, and deeply comforting.
Why people love milk tea:
Feels satisfying and homely
Keeps you full for longer
Perfect for slow mornings and evening breaks
A daily ritual in Bihar and Bengal households
Black Tea vs Milk Tea: Key Differences
Black Tea
Lighter and easier to digest
Lower in calories
Helps with alertness and focus
Best when you want something quick and refreshing
Milk Tea
More filling and rich
Contains calcium from milk
Slower energy release
Ideal when you want comfort and warmth
Which One Is Better for You?
There’s no one right answer — it depends on your routine.
If you start your day early or prefer a light drink, black tea may suit you better.
If you want comfort, fullness, and a slow chai moment, milk tea is a great choice.
Many people enjoy both, at different times of the day.
