Chai Concentrate, The Indian Pantry Way
Brewed in small batches and kept chilled, our chai concentrate brings the true spirit of Mumbai’s cutting chai to your cup. Bold black tea, warm spices, and that comforting aroma, it’s chai the way it’s meant to be. Just keep it refrigerated, pour over milk, and add sugar to taste. Unsweetened, so you can make it just right for you. Available only at Whole Foods Market, City Market Avenue, and Spud.ca. Grab a bottle and enjoy the essence of real Indian chai anytime.
Did You Know Garam Masala Isn't Hot?
Garam Masala is one of the most iconic Indian spice blends. Despite the word “Garam” meaning “hot” in Hindi, it refers to the warming nature of the spices, not their heat level. Our version is slow-roasted and ground in small batches to bring out deep, rich aromas.
