Every Sip Tells a Story

Honestly thought one masala was the same as the next. Made my first cup, then called my wife into the kitchen just to smell it. We're on our third order now.

I keep a pack at my desk and people keep walking over asking what I'm making. Half my floor has switched to Dip Tea because of me. Not even joking.

My dad's evening chai was a whole ritual. This is the closest I've found to what he used to make — some mornings it just brings him back for a minute.

Strong, properly spiced, none of that powdery aftertaste the cheaper ones leave. I do add a little extra ginger to get it exactly where I like it, but that's a small thing. Daily cup for about four months now.

My mother is impossible to please with chai and she actually nodded after one sip. That never happens. That's the whole review.

Sent a box to my sister abroad and now she makes me courier it every couple of months. The smell the moment you tear open the pack — that's what got us both.

Started with one small pack just to test it, and the cardamom won me over — comes through without taking over. Only real gripe is the small pack disappears fast in our house, so I've moved to the bigger one.

I've had a lot of chai in my years and most of the packet ones smell cheap and too sweet. This one is genuinely balanced and fresh. Even the grandchildren ask for it.

The chai itself is lovely — that cup at 3am on our trek I still think about. Knocking off a couple of stars though, my last pack reached me with a loose seal and a lot of the aroma was gone. Hoping it was a one-off.
