  • This video covers the amazing adventures of Lali discovering Indian Culture in London. This video is very special because it's all about my favourite Indian drink, Chai!
    Chai Guys was co-founded by Abhilash Jobanputra and Gabriel Unger, both met working at Deloitte and after becoming friends they often discussed the idea of selling Indian chai. They could see a gap in the market for authentic Indian Chai in London, so they bravely departed from their safe jobs to set up their business together.
    This video explores the journey they have both gone on up to the present day - now they've opened a Chai Guys Bakehouse!
    Special credits go to ;
    Asia, Ameena, Nelson and Clothilde - all of whom work hard to create the best products at Chai Guys.
    My friends Shankar and Amberish who always put up with me making these vlogs and happily join in and don't mind being on camera or helping out filming.

  • @altheabrown2044

    very well done video! Perhaps there is room for pho chaa, the Tibetan salt butter tea. It is a favorite of mine and is especially wonderful where the weather is cold, rainy or gloomy. Since they already have a salty Kashmiri chai, adding pho cha would create a symmetry, 2 salty, 2 sweet. Plus, there are a fair number of Tibetans and those who love the Tibetan culture in and around London.
    The publicity value alone would be not inconsiderable, especially if paired with khabse, on the occasion of Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Surely there are business or government grants to enhance the multi-cultural aspects of enjoying London's diverse culinary scene.
    British Devon and other butters are very, very good, Bun maska, and Pho Cha containing cream from Ayrshire cows, would be successfull.

    I think the perfect answer would be the humbke tealeaves. It takes the backseat in the conversation about chai with all the spices and possibilities, but chai can be made in the absence of wvery other ingredient but the tealeaves.

    Please ask them make one more version "Shelajet/Shelajit Chai" it is slight salty and bitter. So you have to add more sugar. Or few drops of it in "Kadak Chai". Sheelajit good for joint pain/back pain cough and cold. Some people say it has aphrodisiac quality, but it is much more then that.
