A recipe from a top 'Chai Wallah'. Superb body with mellow Indian spice notes. Coppery bright and very enticing with milk. This is the real thing. Our Master taster has sampled literally hundreds of chais served everywhere from Bombay to Darjeeling. Of all these one stands out above all the rest. Just outside of the airport in Guwahati Assam there is a cab-stand tucked in behind a local shrine. While waiting for a plane to take him back to Calcutta many years ago he accepted a cup of chai from the local Wallah. The cup, with its blend of pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and other spices blew his mind. It was this cup that inspired our version of Indian Spice Chai. So even if you aren't in India, brew yourself a pot and summon your inner Chai Wallah by calling out "chay-ee!

The most delicious Chai I have tried
Wasn't expecting it to be quite so heavy on the cumin but this is just personal taste. Will try the masala chai next. Service was excellent and the quality of all of the teas received was superb.
Excellent service
