India that I admire, has vibrant diversity and amalgamation of different food, cultures, and people, but what keeps them all connected to one single dot is “chai”. People usually bond over a hot cup with perfect masala chai. The definition of a “perfect cup” totally depends upon the combination of milk, water, and sugar. It is that formula which would never deceive or disappoint, be it any season including those long days of monsoon showers, chilly winter nights or hot summer days. Chai brings serenity in all and if this love is real, pure and organic including the benefits of nine herbs nothing can beat that match. This is present only in Ashvatha, bringing us back to roots by providing authentic flavors.

It is one of those chai’s which cannot be replaced and it is the elixir to every problem, the best way for appeasement and rejuvenation of mind, soul, and energy.
