About Us

Sharing Our Heritage. Allow us to share the journey of our chai masala.

We are a local husband and wife team, based just outside Manchester in UK.

It all started when I was tidying up my late mum-in-law's study area. I came across a recipe for chai masala tea, handwritten on a worn-out piece of paper, along with other recipes.

I had heard that my mum-in-law was well-known for her culinary skills. I just didn’t realise she had written down the recipes for all of her specialties, including her famous chai masala tea!

I then refined my mum-in-law's recipe for chai masala tea and served it up to my hubby, our families and friends.

It was an instant hit and I thought to myself that perhaps others would like to experience the same joy and happiness that we experience through our home-made masala chai tea.

My hubby and I then decided to share our love for our chai masala tea with everyone else by starting The Indian Food Carriage Chai Masala original blend in 2020, serving up convenient but authentic home-made ground chai masala spices.

Thank you for choosing to explore the world of chai masala with us!

Chai Masala: From us to you

"Our preference for tea is personal to us! A morning ritual; it evokes memories. A shared moment of joy warms our hands, we inhale the aromas and breathe our worries away. A good cup of tea makes everything a little bit better."

 

Chai Masala

Sharing Our Heritage. Our deeply rooted connections with soil, tea, spices, and people allow us to share the journey of our chai masala.

The Indian Food Carriage is a family-owned business, specialising in single-origin, fully traceable, tea spices, and beautiful teaware. Our headquarters are just outside Manchester. 

It all started when I was tidying up my late mum-in-law's study area when I came across some papers with handwritten recipes for chai masala. 

I had heard that my mum-in-law was well-known for her culinary skills. My hubby was surprised to see that his mum had a collection of recipes for her chai that she used to make when he was growing up.

As I refined my mum-in-law's recipe for chai, my hubby continued to be filled with nostalgia thinking about the chai made by his loving mother in his childhood.

It was then that we decided to share our love for chai with everyone. We wanted others to experience the same joy and happiness that we experienced through our homemade heritage chai.

We founded The Indian Food Carriage Chai Masala original blend in 2020 to share all of that – our knowledge, heritage, and connections with the tea and spice trade. 

At The Indian Food Carriage, we are unambiguous in our commitment to the quality of our tea spices and the relationships behind each and every one. 

Thank you for exploring the world of chai masala with us. We invite you to savour every cup.
