Aslan Chai
No powder. No syrup. Aslan Chai is ground from whole spices and hand mixed in Vancouver. When aslan opened his cafe, the menu was short one item: chai. Not being satisfied with syrup and powder-based mixes he made his own authentic version of what masala chai should taste like and made sure to prepare it traditionally: in a pot. His goal was a perfect balance of sweet to spice and after serving the first few batches at his cafe and in local markets, it took on a new destiny. Fans inquired about the mix for home use and that’s when Aslan Chai was born.
