Behind the Business..

Back in 2020, we were fortunate enough to visit India and experience the incredible, vibrant Indian culture - and where we also sampled plenty of delicious masala chai!

Fragrant, warming and downright delicious; 'Masala Chai' simply translates to 'Spiced Tea' and consists of black tea leaves, spices, milk, water & sugar. It's incredibly popular throughout the Indian-subcontinent and you don't have to search long to find a local 'chaiwala' (local tea-seller), most of whom have their own family recipes and take great pride in serving this liquid gold.

So after sampling some of the best chai around and falling in love with it, we got busy in our kitchen creating our own authentic masala chai blends for you to make at home! The Local Chai Company was born.

We also continuously strive to go above and beyond when it comes to being an environmentally and ethically conscious business; from the suppliers we work with, the ingredients we source and the packaging we use. Please do check out our Blog were we cover all things business-related and various other important topics regarding our sustainability and ethics. We believe in doing some good and giving back, rather than just thinking of our pockets.

Happy chai drinking!
