Diaspora Spice Co. was founded to radically reimagine the spice trade: investing money, equity, and power directly into the best regenerative spice farms across South Asia. They are a queer, woman of color owned business. Their spices tell stories of freedom, struggle, and diaspora through food.
The spices in this Chai Masala are the result of four years of sourcing across 40 small, regenerative family farms throughout India and Sri Lanka. In this masala, you'll encounter Iniya Cardamom from Tamil Nadu; Aranya Pepper from Kerala; Makhir Ginger from Meghalaya; Lucknowi Fennel from Uttar Pradesh; and Kandyan Cloves and Peni Miris Cinnamon from Kandy, Sri Lanka. It's the result of over a million WhatsApp messages and voice notes, over 20 sourcing visits, and thousands of humans’ dedication across three continents all blended and poured into the dreamiest, spiciest cup of chai.
We serve this incredible chai at The Foundroot Shop and it has nothing short of a cult following. This blend contains no black tea so we also use it in our cinnamon rolls, cookies, pumpkin pie... you name it.
