    Our morning pot now. Strong without being bitter, and we use less than the old packet.

    The cardamom is real cardamom. Made it for my parents and they asked where it is from.

    From Kolkata, so I am fussy about tea. This is good, honest leaf and it was packed nine days before it reached me.

    Finally a chai that tastes like the one at my nani's in Dharamshala. One spoon is enough.

    Set solid in a week, as they said it would. Warm water and it was back. Floral and not too sweet.

Questions

Before you order

Something else? Ask us on WhatsApp →
How fresh is it?

We pack every week, and the date is on the pouch. What we post this week was made in the garden's factory in the last fortnight.

How much tea for a cup?

One heaped spoon a cup for a strong chai. It is stronger than most packet tea, so start with a little less than you are used to.

Is cash on delivery available?

Yes, anywhere in India for orders up to ₹3,000. Or pay by UPI when you order.

When will it reach me?

We post from Palampur within a day of your order; it reaches most cities in three to seven days.

What is the free kulhad?

A clay cup from the potters of Andretta, packed in straw with every 1 kg pack, while they last.
