BOMBAY CUTTING 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. Cutting chai in Bombay is the lifeline of Bombay.

Bombay Cutting Chai From high-end corporate offices to small shop owners located in the 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 chai, ginger, cardamom, and fennel. The spicy ginger, pleasant cardamom, and soothing aroma of fennel mix incredibly well to make a refreshing cup of Bombay Cutting Masala Chai.

ASSAM MASALA CHAI
No one knows where chai came from, but it’s a well-known fact that Britishers got us into drinking tea. When tea production started in India, most of it was produced in Assam and exported to Britain. As people there were brewing an experiment with a new beverage, they began to like it.

Assam Masala Chai

However, no one knows why they added milk to tea. Some speculate that its taste was too strong for their palate. Hence milk and sugar were added to tea, making it ‘chai’ in the subcontinent. And When they traveled to India, this habit of adding milk was adopted quickly by the Indian traders in Assam and West Bengal. Soon, the tradition of chai started in India. When the Britishers introduced snacks with chai, it became a daily ritual in every household in India. In the coming years, spices were added to chai, making it a masala chai.
