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.
