Some teas are simply brewed. Others become part of your day. Mumbai Chai is one of those teas. Bold, aromatic, and beautifully comforting, this premium loose-leaf Indian spiced black tea is inspired by the vibrant chai culture found on every street corner in Mumbai. From bustling railway stations to family kitchens, chai is more than a beverage—it is a daily ritual that brings people together. Every cup begins with rich black tea, carefully blended with a warming selection of traditional spices. As the tea steeps, layers of fragrant cardamom, lively ginger, sweet cinnamon, rich cloves, and gentle black pepper fill the air, creating an aroma that feels both energizing and familiar. This is not simply a cup of tea. It is a tradition passed from one generation to the next. A cup shared between friends. A quiet pause during a busy afternoon. A comforting ritual that turns ordinary moments into memorable ones. Rich in flavour. Full of warmth. Made to be shared. Origin Mumbai Chai is inspired by the vibrant tea culture of Mumbai, India, where chai is woven into everyday life and enjoyed from sunrise until late evening. Across India, chai recipes are treasured family traditions, each with its own balance of black tea and aromatic spices. While every household has its own signature blend, the heart of chai remains the same—bold black tea paired with warming spices that create comfort, depth, and connection. Our Mumbai Chai honours this timeless tradition while being expertly blended in Richmond, British Columbia. Each batch is carefully crafted to capture the bold character and inviting warmth of authentic Indian chai while reflecting the care and quality that define Two Hills Tea. The inspiration comes from Mumbai. The craftsmanship comes from Richmond. Together, they create a cup that celebrates both heritage and quality. How It Is Made Mumbai Chai begins with carefully selected premium black tea leaves that provide a smooth, full-bodied foundation. Here in Richmond, British Columbia, the tea is expertly blended with a harmonious combination of traditional chai spices, creating a balance where every ingredient complements the next. Cardamom adds delicate floral sweetness. Cinnamon contributes gentle warmth. Ginger delivers lively spice. Cloves bring richness and depth. Black pepper leaves a subtle lingering heat. Rather than competing, these ingredients work together to create layers of flavour that continue to unfold with every sip. Inspired by traditional Indian masala chai, this blend is equally delicious enjoyed on its own or simmered with milk and lightly sweetened for a classic chai experience. The result is bold, aromatic, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Taste Profile Mumbai Chai delivers a rich, aromatic tea experience filled with comforting spice and smooth black tea.
