When you look past the smog in Delhi, you really see it’s beauty

Not just for the chai — though it was unforgettable.
Spiced, salty, floral… no two cups the same.

But for the centuries of empires who have made the city what it is.
The people. The rituals. The quiet joy of sharing something simple, together.

Follow along our chai journey 🛺

What does chai mean to you?

For us, it means warmth.
It means memory.
It means them.

Passed down from their hands to ours —
the ritual, the aroma, the love.

This isn’t just tea.
This is home in a cup. 🍵

Mum, I made it onto the FT 🥹 (with my grandma 🤍)

Writing this from India feels special and fitting. We’ve just spent time with the chaiwalas and farmers who make this whole thing possible. I started Amala Chai at the age of 24 with more heart than plan, and honestly no real clue what I was getting into. Seven years later, the brand has grown, changed, and found its own rhythm — but the core has always stayed the same.

This has never just been about tea. It’s about culture, identity, and the journey of being in the Indian diaspora. It’s about sourcing with intention, backing farming communities, and building something slowly, on our own terms.

No investors. No shortcuts. Just a damn good cup of chai, people, and purpose.

And we’re only just getting started. About to release the most exciting project we’ve ever worked on 👀☕️

Thank you

What if a cup of chai could tell a story?

I’m in India to find out, exploring not just how chai is made, but what it means to the people who pour it, drink it, and live it.

From the busy streets of Delhi to the deserts of Rajasthan and the farms of Kerala… I’ll be meeting the makers, hearing their stories, and tasting chai that connects a billion people.

Follow the journey, this one’s special. 🍵🇮🇳

Have you tried it yet?

This isn’t about trends.
And it’s definitely not a chai latte.

Masala chai takes time.
Spice. Patience. Care.

For South Asians, chai is memory, culture, and connection.
So seeing it reduced to hot milk and syrup never sat right with me.

That’s why I’m here.
To share what real masala chai is — and the value it holds.

This is deeper than a drink.
And the journey is just getting started.

Where does real chai begin?

Not in a factory.
Not in a syrup bottle.

It begins in hands.
On real farms.
With real spice.

And every step matters — all the way to your cup in London.

This is a journey we’re proud to share.
Follow the journey. Drink the story.

Made the way it should be — with fresh spices, slow boils, and a recipe passed down through generations.

Because life’s too short for bad chai.

🫖 Come try a proper cup.

One cup in the Himalayas changed everything.

A taste that felt like home. A feeling that stuck.

So Akhil messaged his grandma, got her recipe, and started testing batches on weekends.

Turns out, he wasn’t the only one craving something real.
That’s how Amala Chai began — with love, memory, and a damn good recipe.

🫖 Come try the chai that started it all.

Not all chai is created equal.

It’s not just about the taste — it’s about the time. The way it’s made. The way it makes you feel.

Slow-steeped spices. The rolling boil. The pour.

It’s not fast. But it’s worth it.

🫖 Try a cup the way it was always meant to be made.

Chai isn’t a trend. It’s a ritual.

The kind you grow up with. The kind that anchors your day.
Grinding fresh spices. Waiting for the boil. Pouring with care.

It’s not just tea — it’s tradition.

One sip and you’re back home.

🫖 Come try our chai across London or start brewing at home.

Can a cup of chai bring people together?

At our tuk-tuk — it already does.
Every day we see it.
Friends catching up. Strangers chatting.
Stories shared over steam and spice.

One cup. One small moment of warmth.
But it means a lot.

📍 Come by London Fields, grab a chai, and be part of it.
We’ll have the kettle on.
