PF1 Tea vs Gold Tea: Which Is Stronger?

Are you standing in a grocery store, trying to choose between PF1 tea and Gold Tea, and still confused about the differences and the taste? Then worry not; you've landed at the right place. Here, you get a quick comparison of the best teas that help you select the perfect cup for your taste buds.

PF1 and Gold tea are two different tea qualities; one has a stronger taste, and the other is lighter. If you've stood in front of the tea corner, you find both, but buying the best tea depends on your tea taste. With Qamar tea, you find both PF1 and Gold tea. In this blog, you explore both, which helps you make the right decision.

PF1 and the Gold Tea

Qamar Tea offers you both versions: Gold and PF1. The Gold one is stronger for the specific Karak chai, giving your day a quick punch. Gold is also strong but gives you a balanced color, best for the dodh pattern. Here is a quick comparison to help you understand PF1 and Tea Gold

Now that you are well-versed in PF1 and Gold Tea with Qamar tea, you can find both Qamar PF1 and Qamar Gold Tea.

What Makes PF1 Tea Special

PF1 is our best-selling daily mix for a reason. Made from a blend of high-quality tea leaves, it makes for a robust, fragrant cup but not bitter; that's important if you're brewing chai three or four times a day at home.

PF1 would be a “does everything well” tea. Prepare as doodh patti in the morning and enjoy a creamy, full-bodied cup with a rich color. In the evening, make karak with less milk and more boil, and it's still good. PF1 is typically the best and most dependable choice when keeping only one pack of tea patti at home.

What Makes Gold Tea Special

Things are different with Gold. For those who have a serious attitude towards karak chai the kind of chai that gives you a deep, dark cup and doesn't hesitate to be more of a challenge even after adding milk- the blend we made. Gold is stronger than most blends, so it retains its color and punch when indulging in the best doodh.

If you have ever been to a proper dhaba / chaiwala and asked yourself, “Why doesn't my home chai taste like this?”, chances are it is not the dhaba / chaiwala who doesn't know what he's doing, but rather the tea itself. Gold is designed to fill in the void.

It's also the one people are most likely to choose when expecting guests. A strong, aromatic cup of Gold will always feel a little different, whether you're having a family day, serving up a cup to your friends with their visit, or simply needing something a little more special after a typical day of tea.

PF1 vs Gold: Taste and Color Compared

Now compare the two, and it will become evident rather quickly.

• Taste: PF1 is smooth and strong, with a refreshing cup after cup. Gold provides a stronger, deeper taste, with a slightly longer finish; the type of flavor that those who enjoy karak chai want.

• Color: They both provide a good, rich color, but with Gold, the color will darken and remain deep reddish-brown with additional milk. The PF1 is light reddish-brown but still rich, and is a classic doodh patti color.

• Aroma: This one is very close. They are both aromatic blends; Gold's is slightly stronger, though the aroma is apparent when the water begins to simmer.

Which One Should You Buy for Doodh Patti?

PF1 is generally the more common choice for doodh patti. It's formulated to provide a creamy, full-bodied cup of milk without needing to add more patti to compensate. If making a cup of doodh is part and parcel of your daily routine, making it before Fajr, making it when guests come, PF1 is designed just for you.

However, if you prefer your doodh patti to be on the fancier side, Gold plays the game as well. Just reduce the quantity a little bit from a straight karak and simmer a little longer to release that creamy flavor.

Which One Should You Buy for Karak Chai?

Keeping it simple: Gold is our karak chai tea. It's formulated to deliver that strong color, intense flavor, and full aroma sought after by karak enthusiasts. Whether it's getting a break during the day, hanging out with friends, or simply the way you want your tea, Gold should be in the kitchen.

If you are really a karak chai person, then Gold will provide you with a noticeably better, more satisfying cup of chai, but PF1 can do a fine job in a pinch as well.

What About Price and Value?

PF1 and Gold are reasonably priced, so you can drink them as your daily tea rather than a treat — good chai shouldn't be too complicated or too expensive to get right. When purchasing for regular home use, PF1's strength and price are more economical. However, if you cook up that bold karak flavor regularly, then Gold is a worthwhile pick, even if you're preparing it a little more often for others.

Aside from that, the larger pouch sizes (900g or 1600g) are cheaper per cup than the smaller sizes (which are what you will find in most Pakistani homes).

Our Recommendation

Honestly? Many families choose to have both. PF1 for a quick cup of doodh or for the everyday patti, and Gold when karak chai is the special treat desired on evenings, visitors, or a strong cup at the beginning of the day.

However, if you are forced to choose between the two:

• If you are looking for a good, balanced tea for doodh patti and general consumption, select PF1.

• If you want the strongest and boldest cup of chai Qamar Tea offers, choose Gold.

May you choose Qamar PF1 or Qamar Tea Gold; both teas offer you the best taste, whether you are a karak tea lover or want the best dodh patti in town.
