Our Story
Vastu Chai was created from a passion for high quality tea and a desire to offer an ethically sourced & intentionally grown tea line to enthusiasts. Our Traditional Masala, is a blend of loose leaf black tea and eight different spices based on my family recipe, which has, evolved into a rich, perfectly balanced chai masala. The recipe was inherited from my mum passed on to her from my grandmother and great-grandmother who all originate from the state of Gujarat in Western India.

My morning ritual involves the preparation of Chai with a mantra or pure intention as a start to the day.
