This week, step into a world where every cup of chai carries stories, a tapestry of India’s tea houses and plantations, woven together by S. Muthiah and Ranjitha Ashok. Office Chai, Planter’s Brew gathers fifty stirring tales from the era when British and Indian colleagues brewed partnerships and rivalries from Calcutta’s boardrooms to Assam’s tea gardens, and from Madras clubs to distant plantation benches.
“In the hush of office corridors and the clatter of factory floors,
The tea arrived steaming warmth, on a quiet afternoon.
Memories stirred, echoing laughter shared with strangers grown familiar,
And the aroma, lingered, bridging worlds and decades.”
Come find "Office Chai, Planter’s Brew" on the shelves at Jugmug Thela. Pull up a chair, pour yourself some tea, and let these stories become part of your own.
