Story Behind This Chai

The City of Joy thrives on its chai addas—vibrant tea stalls where conversations flow as freely as the chai. As you stroll through the city, the aroma of sizzling street food, the rhythmic clatter of trams, and the inviting scent of chai from 'matir bhaar' (earthen tea cups) create an irresistible charm. Every street corner has its own beloved chai adda, a place where locals and travelers gather for endless chatter over a strong, spiced brew.

Our Kolkata Street Chai is an ode to this soulful tradition. Infused with saffron, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger, this chai blend offers a fragrant and bold cup with malty richness, subtle warmth, and a lingering sweetness. Each sip captures the nostalgia of the city, making it more than just chai—it's an experience.

Frequently Purchased

The best!

I’m on my 3rd order of this chai! I love everything about this tea - the smell, flavor and taste. It’s very well-balanced as none of the spices overwhelm the others but I do feel that the star masala is the saffron!

Chai used with elaichi

Chai, the I am using is with chhoti elaichi, elaichi seems in harmony with it, the taste and fragrance are unforgettable, should have bought it before winters.

It doesn't taste like it's from India unless it's from India. Same robust fragrance as the chai in Saranath. Nothing like it.
