I think you set a task that is almost impossible. I say this because for me chai is concerned with the flavors combined with tea (spices, dried fruit, etc.). The leaves are hardly a concern in comparison. Chai green tea is not chai black tea of course, but the origin of leaves, processing, etc. don't seem to matter.

I would not write this since it may be rude of me to discuss chai which is not my cup of tea but when I hold a view that is untested I am curious if many others think I am wrong.

Would like to learn more about kulhar cups used to drink chai.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulhar

A kulhar (Hindi: कुल्हड़ and Urdu: کلہڑ) or kulhad, sometimes called a shikora, is a traditional handle-less clay cup from India and Pakistan that is typically unpainted and unglazed, and meant to be disposable. The most interesting feature of kulhar is not being painted and that differentiates a kulhar from a terra-cotta cup. The kulhar cup is unglazed inside out.[1] Since kulhars are made by firing in a kiln and are almost never reused, they are inherently sterile and hygienic.[2] Bazaars and food stalls in the Indian subcontinent traditionally served hot beverages, such as tea, in kuhlars, which suffused the beverage with an "earthy aroma" that was often considered appealing.

Since kulhars are unglazed, a hot drink such as tea partially soaks into the interior wall of the kulhar in which it being served.[7] This has an enhancing effect on the beverage's taste and fragrance, which is sometimes described as "earthy" (सौंधी ख़ुशबू,sondhi khushboo).[3][8] Although kulhars have been losing ground to synthetic cups due to cost and efficiency reasons, higher-end restaurants often serve kulhar-waali chai (tea in kulhars) to their customers.[9]
