According to lore, masala chai’s history began thousands of years ago in ancient royal court. Some legends say it was created 9000 years ago, while others say it was 5000 years ago. Some say the court was located in what is now India, while others attribute masala chai to Thai origins.
Regardless, it is said that it was created as a cleansing, vivifying Ayurvedic beverage. In 1835, the British set up tea plantations in Assam, India. The black teas produced there made their way into local masala chai recipes. This is the first appearance of masala chai as we know it, complete with spices, milk, sweetener and ta. In our chocolate, we have combined cocoa beans, milk, spices, tea and sugar, so that everyone could have a bite and be transferred to a mysterious and unique India.
