A "chaiwala" (person who makes and sells chai) at work. He serves the tea in traditional terra-cotta vessels - India's disposable cups that are smashed on the ground after use.

Chaiwalas at work...

Chai is India's national drink.  These beverage stands adorn every bustling roadside thoroughfare, the vendors turning their practice into performance with quick preparation and extravagant service.  Travelers, truck drivers, rickshaw peddlers and locals gather to get their small glass of sweet spiced brew.  Make a house-chai of your own!  We've included the pillars of a chai recipe below that can be adjusted to your liking.  Make your house smell of sweet warming spices...

Resolved to travel in the new near?  Check our India Tea Tour - a trip to the heart of the Indian tea industry.  Designed for tea professionals and enthusiasts, we''ll travel to the Nigiris, Assam and Darjeeling with a comprehensive tea curriculum designed and taught by esteemed consultant Nigel Mellican.  Trip runs April 7-20th 2018.
