If your iced tea comes from a bottle… you’re doing summer wrong.

Most iced teas are packed with sugar, artificial flavours, and barely taste like actual tea.

We do things differently.

Fresh lemon. Bright mint. Proper Assam tea brewed strong and served over ice 🍋

Crisp, refreshing, and balanced the way iced tea should actually taste.

This isn’t just a normal white tee.

It’s a map of our entire 7,000-kilometre journey across India.

Every icon represents a different region and story, we hope to share along the way 🛺

Big love to for helping us bring the design to life.

And honestly… it’s also just pretty cool to wear.

Available now as one of our Kickstarter rewards

Day 14 of planning Journey Through Chai

But this idea started long before that.

What began as sourcing trips across India slowly became something much bigger than the drink itself

Each year, meeting farmers, chaiwalas, and communities showed us how a single drink can act as a vehicle for connection ☕️

That’s when the idea for the documentary was born.

Now, we’re getting ready to head back across India to film the full story — with your support through our ❤️

A second glimpse into the world behind Journey Through Chai 🛺

During our research in Delhi, we met Sudama, a chaiwala whose customers told us he makes some of the best chai in the city.

His chai had its own rhythm, its own regulars, and its own blend — with rose, tulsi, bay leaf, mint, and cardamom all finding their way into the pot.

But what stayed with us most wasn’t just the chai itself. It was the life around it. The conversations, the routine, the sense of community.

That’s really what this project is about.

Watch the full episode in our and help us bring Journey Through Chai to life❤️

This isn’t the sugary chocolate milk you grew up with.

Most chocolate drinks are just a sugar rush — overly sweet and completely flat.

We do things differently.

Single-origin cacao from, blended with our signature chai masala ☕️🍫

The result is deep, spicy, refreshing, and properly balanced.

Now available across all of our sites. Comment ICED to get your first cup on us 👀
Journey Through Chai by is a documentary journey exploring the people, rituals, and history behind chai. Over 70 days, Akhil will travel by rickshaw through 17 states — from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, finishing in Darjeeling and capturing the stories on film. ☕️

Day 10 of our kickstarter!

And today, we’re hitting the streets.

Not everything happens online — our business started with conversations at our sites over a cup of chai.

And that’s what this project is built on.

Help us bring Journey Through Chai to life - link below and in bio
I’m incredibly excited to finally share Journey Through Chai — a 7,000 km journey across India exploring the people, rituals, and stories behind chai. 🛺

This project has been building for a while, and bringing it into the world means a lot.

But the truth is, it only comes to life if we secure the funding on. Every bit of support helps us turn this from an idea into a real journey, and into the documentary series we know it can become.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped shape it so far:

Delhi — to the lovely chaiwalas we met across the city, and to and Rangoli for helping us scout and film across Delhi.

Kolkata — our second shoot in the city, and back again with at

Kerala — to our amazing farm partners across Wayanad and Kozhikode district for opening up your homes to us.

& at for putting together the amazing graphics for our website, leaflets & t-shirts.

And to at, who has helped bring all of this together.

This is only the beginning, and I’m really excited to share more of the journey soon.

Mum, I made it onto the FT 🥹 (with my grandma 🤍)
Writing this from India feels special and fitting. We’ve just spent time with the chaiwalas and farmers who make this whole thing possible. I started Amala Chai at the age of 24 with more heart than plan, and honestly no real clue what I was getting into. Seven years later, the brand has grown, changed, and found its own rhythm — but the core has always stayed the same.
This has never just been about tea. It’s about culture, identity, and the journey of being in the Indian diaspora. It’s about sourcing with intention, backing farming communities, and building something slowly, on our own terms.
No investors. No shortcuts. Just a damn good cup of chai, people, and purpose.
And we’re only just getting started. About to release the most exciting project we’ve ever worked on 👀☕️

Thank you
A quick recap of a surreal day. Yesterday, I was invited by to serve chai at Chequers — to,, and Indian & UK ministers. 🇮🇳🇬🇧

Can we just take a moment to realise how mad that is? 🤯
There I was, in the UK Prime Minister’s house, serving masala chai — and not one person wanted coffee. 😂

From one chaiwala to another, that was a special day 😍
Right… I’m getting off the internet now to make a cup of chai. 🛺
