Everyone seems to have a chai story. As soon as we tell people we’re writing about India’s chai wallahs, they almost always begin to wax nostalgic about a favorite chai wallah or memories of a profound conversation with a new friend made over a hot cup.
These stories are too good not to share, so we’re launching the Chai Diaries series. These posts will feature stories we accumulate of memories made over chai. We would love to feature your tea tale — if you have one, please share it by filling out this form!
