Story Behind This Chai

Bombay never sleeps. And to help people pause in this fast-paced life, chai comes as a rescue. It's also the place where the concept of cutting chai arrived. In literal translation, cutting means a half-cup of chai.

From high-end corporate offices to small shop owners located in narrow lanes, chaiwallah delivers the same chai in the small glasses juggling in the vintage cutting glass stand. More than a beverage, chai is an emotion here. When you dip bun maska in it with your partner at an Irani/Parsi cafe or be it the first bite of street-side vada pav or samosa at a local stall under the pouring rain, a cup of chai is all that makes Bombay unforgettable.

Inspired by the bustling city, we have crafted a blend, Bombay Cutting Masala Chai. This blend celebrates the amalgamation of different cultures and emotions in Bombay with a mix of spicy ginger, pleasant cardamom, and the soothing aroma of fennel mix incredibly well to make a refreshing cup of Bombay Cutting Masala Chai.

Freshness is paramount in crafting a superior tea experience, especially in the case of Chai.

Stale tea can often result in a lacklustre and diminished taste, compromising the characteristic notes that make masala chai so special.

At Teabox, our unwavering dedication to freshness ensures that every sip of chai is a vibrant and authentic indulgence.

We directly source our teas from their origin and implement stringent quality control measures, we handcraft the chai and vacuum pack them in small batches to ensure we keep them away from their 4 enemies - Light, Oxygen, Moisture and heat to prioritize maintaining the optimum freshness of our teas, allowing you to savour the rich, full-bodied flavours that define a remarkable Masala Chai experience.

How do I store my Chai to maintain freshness?

1. To preserve the freshness and flavor of any tea, it is advisable to store them in an airtight container, shielding them from exposure to air.

2. Choose a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight, as light and heat can compromise the tea's quality.

3. Store the tea away from strong odors to prevent the absorption of unwanted flavors.
