  • Masala Chai, 2 Ways
    Masala Chai, 2 Ways © 2020 Heather Bruggeman Chai is the very thing I would make for us if you stopped by on a cold, snowy day. Of all the warm drinks I can think of, Chai offers the sweetest, creamiest, spiciest, most perfect wintertime experience. So, let us make some Chai. Finding the perfect recipe can, and should be, a personal journey. Try experimenting with many recipes before you finally decide on your one true blend. It is the tastiest process if ever there was one. My basic recipe represents the memory of my very first cup of Chai, prepared for me over a wood cookstove in a centuries old farm kitchen where I worked as a young adult. How could I desire Chai to be anything other than the flavors of that day? It has taken me quite some time, but I finally prepare Chai the way it was first introduced to me. I’d love to share that recipe with you, along with a second variation I’ve come up with. Because variety, it is the spice of life! I like to make the following recipes in large batches (x8). While this may seem like a big to-do, it truly simplifies things if you’re a regular Chai drinker. We all love Chai in my house, so making a large batch once a week and having it ready in the fridge to warm up with some milk is perfect nourishment. Healing Properties The aroma of Chai intoxicates, and just a few sips will begin to calm the nervous system.

  • Tea Industry
    Tea Industry Introduction The Indian tea industry is nearly 200 years old. Robert Bruce, a British national discovered tea plants growing in the upper Brahmaputra valley in Assam and adjoining areas. In 1838, Indian tea that was grown in Assam was sent to the UK for the first time, for public sale. Tea in India is grown primarily in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Apart from this, it is also grown in small quantities in Karnataka, HP, Tripura, Uttaranchal, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim and Meghalaya. India has a dual tea base, unlike most other tea exporting countries. Both CTC and Orthodox tea is produced in India. The tea industry is agro‐based and labour intensive. It provides direct employment to over 1 million persons. Through its forward and backward linkages another 10 million persons derive their livelihood from tea. In Northeast India alone, the tea industry employs around 900,000 persons on permanent rolls. It is one of the largest employers of women amonst organized industries in India. Women constitute nearly 51% of the total workforce. The tea estates in the North Eastern India are located in industrially backward areas. Tea being the only organised industry in the private sector in this region, people outside the tea estates have high expectations from the industry. The three most distinct known varieties of tea in India are: a) Assam tea (grown in Assam and other parts of NE India) b) Darjeeling tea (grown in Darjeeling and other parts of West Bengal) c) Nilgiri tea (grown in the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu) Objective Through this dissertation project, I intend to study, with respect to the CIS nations and the United Kingdom that serve as the foremost export markets, the Indian tea industry in detail, the trends observed in the past, the highs and lows of export volumes to these countries and the reasons behind them, as well as future prospects on where Indian would stand in the global arena.

We also offer delicious sweets and savories and invite you to take a moment to relax: This is Chado. Chado is pronounced “sado” in Japanese. It comes from the Chinese words CHA (“tea”) and TAO (“way”) and translates “way of tea.” It refers not just to the Japanese tea ceremony, but also to an ancient traditional practice that has been evolving for 5,000 years or more. Tea is quiet and calms us as we enjoy it. No matter who you are or where you live, tea is sure to make you feel better and more civilized. No pleasure is simpler, no luxury less expensive, no consciousness-altering agent more benign. Chado is a way to health and happiness that people have loved for thousands of years. Thank you for joining us. Your hosts, Reena, Devan & Tek A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHADO Chado opened on West 3rd Street in 1990 as a small, almost quaint tearoom with few tables, but with 300 canisters of teas from all over the globe lining the walls. In 1993, Reena Shah and her husband, Devan, acquired Chado and began quietly revolutionizing how people in greater Los Angeles think of tea.
