VELO – Rich Elaichi 10mg

Elaichi is the Hindi and Urdu word for cardamom, and VELO Rich Elaichi 10mg is a slim pouch built around that warm, fragrant spice. It sits at three of six dots, so it carries a firm dose alongside an unusual flavour. Nothing else in our VELO range tastes like it.

What cardamom brings to a pouch

Cardamom is the pod behind chai and many sweets, with a scent that is floral, a touch citrusy and gently resinous. Here that spice takes the lead, and a light cooling note keeps it fresh rather than heavy. Expect something closer to a spiced tea than to a mint or fruit pouch.

Who should try VELO Rich Elaichi

This is one for curious palates and anyone tired of rotating between the same mints. It also suits people who already enjoy chai, since the flavour will feel familiar from the first minute. If spice is new to you, keep a familiar mint can nearby as a fallback. Cardamom is a traditional after-dinner spice, so this is a natural pick once a meal is done.

From Elaichi Blast to Rich Elaichi

VELO first released this flavour in 2023 as Elaichi Blast, part of a limited Eastern Mix range, and offered it only at 10mg. Today it is sold as VELO Rich Elaichi 10mg in a dark green can, and the strength has stayed the same.
