Chai Flights in Portland: A Curated Tasting Experience at Fly Chai

If you are looking for a unique culinary experience, Chai Flights in Portland and the surrounding Beaverton area have become a must-try for tea lovers. At Fly Chai, we have reimagined the traditional tea service by offering a curated flight that allows you to explore the depth and diversity of authentic Indian masala chai.  

Our chai flight isn't just about drinking tea—it’s an education in spice, heritage, and the art of the perfect brew.

What is a Fly Chai Flight?

A chai flight is a tasting experience featuring three distinct variations of our signature masala chai. Each 4oz pour is crafted to showcase a different flavor profile, from soothing and earthy to bold and fiery. It is the perfect way for newcomers to find their favorite blend and for connoisseurs to appreciate the nuance of our house-made masalas.

The Three Blends in Your Flight

When you order a flight at our Beaverton lounge, you will typically experience our three core pillars of flavor:  

  1. Signature Gud Chai: The heart of Fly Chai. This blend is sweetened with our house-made Salted Gud Syrup (Jaggery). It offers a deep, caramel-like richness that you won't find in standard sugar-sweetened chai.  

  2. Firestarter Chai: For those who crave heat. This blend is for the adventurous palate, featuring an extra kick of warming spices that linger beautifully on the tongue.  

  3. Golden Gud Chai: A wellness-forward blend. Infused with high-quality turmeric and a specific balance of black pepper and ginger, this chai is as nourishing as it is delicious.

Why We Serve in Traditional Clay Cups

To make your chai tasting truly authentic, we serve our flights in traditional, unglazed terracotta clay cups, known as Kulhads. These cups are essential to the experience for two reasons:  

  • Aroma: The porous nature of the clay adds a subtle, earthy fragrance to the tea.  

  • Sustainability: These cups are a tribute to the street-side chai stalls of India, providing a tactile connection to the culture of masala chai.

Pair Your Flight with Authentic Bun Maska

A flight of chai is best enjoyed with a side of Bun Maska. This soft, warm bun slathered with butter is the classic pairing designed to balance the bold spices of the tea. Dipping your bun into the different chais in your flight allows you to see how the butter interacts with the different spice levels of the Heritage, Firestarter, and Golden blends.
