Masala Chai COncentrate
We started serving Chai to Indy in 2019 at our pop-up events, “Chai High Tea.” This photo, captured by Lauren Long, is from our very first event! When the pandemic hit, we weren’t able to safely host our popups in-person anymore. We still wanted to share our love for Chai, so we began developing a concentrate that would allow people to easily prepare a hot cup of Masala Chai in their own kitchen. We wanted our concentrate to taste just like what we drink at home without the straining, grating or grinding spices. You’ll find notes of cardamom and ginger like you’d find in many South Asian homes, as well as a blend of the spices we grew up with. We can’t wait to share this product with you and to deliver a bottle to your door very soon!
Chai Simple Syrup
This sweet, floral syrup is perfect for cocktails (Chai Old Fashioned, anyone?), adding sweetness to your hot/cold beverages, spicing up coffee for the perfect “dirty chai,” or in recipes like this delicious Chai Dollar Pancake Recipe (and photo) from Alesha Kelly from Twain Indy. You can find this recipe along with many others in our E-book: But First, Chai.
Sapna Chai Concentrate
Caffeine Free
The perfect nightcap! A rooibos-based concentrate with hints of cardamom, lavender and vanilla, it’s naturally caffeine free and a delicious way to finish off any evening and welcome sweet dreams. We call it our “dessert chai,” and we choose it over hot chocolate at every opportunity!
Manjari’s Chevdo
A delicious fusion snack mix, using South Asian spices paired with American cereals. It’s a perfect pairing for hot or iced masala chai.
Assam Chai + Ruchi’s Chai Masala
Tea leaves + our house chai masala - just add water, milk, sugar and ginger (optional) and you’ve got everything you need to brew a delicious cup of chai. If you want more variety, we are also selling gift sets with our tea leaves (Assam Chai) and a trio of chai masala flavors (Ruchi’s chai masala pictured here + Sapna and Choco Mint Chai Masala).
Our tea leaves come directly from a family tea estate in Assam, India, and our chai masala includes cardamom and cinnamon from Curio Spice, a woman-owned spice company specializing in ethically sourced spices around the world.
