On almost every street corner in India you will find somebody selling hot spicy tea, they are locally known as chai wallahs . For many Indians stopping for a chai is an important part of their daily routine. In each of these kiosks, the chai wallah will create an atmosphere conducive for discussion, sharing and tasting.
Inspired by such unforgettable moments enjoyed while being in India, we have developed our own original range of recipes to honour this culture: five spicy chais, each with a unique personality.

Classic preparation:
- Heat up 500 ml of water in a pot and add 10 g. of chai (4 tsp).
- Cover and simmer 5 – 10 minutes on medium heat.

The next stop on my National Chai Day adventure was Bristol Chai, a Chai Bar in downtown Montreal – seems like a perfect pit stop, no!? I managed to get there about fifteen minutes before close so I didn’t have a ton of time to hang out at the Cafe but I got myself a Clark latte w/ almond milk – and it was pretty nice!
This is the first time I’ve tried Bristol Chai/Camellia Sinensis’ “Clark” blend – it’s differentiator from the rest of the collection is that it’s a chocolate chai. To me, it gave me sort of Mexican Hot Chocolate vibes – a nice, smooth chocolate note (not overly rich or weak, more of a cocoa taste than a milk chocolate/dark chocolate) with warming spices, cinnamon largely. I enjoyed it, and it seemed a bit more refined and nuanced than your typical chocolate chai.
Also – I recently learned that today (Sept. 28th) is the last day that Bristol Chai will be open!! CS will carry the Chai line through their store/website, but the physical location is shutting down. How fucking sad is that!? Does make me really happy I decided to go for National Chai Day though…
It is always sad to see physical shop closing down. I have seen only a few, but always it made me sad. But setting up a shop here is so complicated and expensive.
