An Authentic Indian Chai Experience, Without Guilt or Restrictions The Blue Lotus Chai story was borne of a love for India and a passion for the delicious, authentic spiced tea called masala chai. A deep connection to this ancient land began in the 70's through a personal spiritual journey, ultimately leading me to travel to India on pilgrimage, returning year after year. Throughout these travels, on back roads and in every village, seemingly ever-present was the "chai wallah". Always searching for that perfect cup of chai, I visited tea stands across the dusty plains, along the banks of the sacred Ganges, on trains crisscrossing the country, even savoring a cup high in the Himalayan peaks at "The Last Tea Shop in India".
