Royal Cup
Full-bodied everyday kadak — banishes the morning fog, brings the day's energy.
Strong, malty, and honest — the cup we drink every morning.
Royal Cup is the everyday cup — the one that gets the morning moving. A fine Assam CTC that brews dark and fast, holds its own against milk and sugar, and finishes clean and brisk. No flavouring, no dust, no fuss: just the strong, familiar chai most Indian households run on.
We grade and pack it fresh so the cup you make at home tastes the way it should — full-bodied and honest, first cup to last.

Born in Assam.
The gardens of the Brahmaputra valley give Assam CTC its body and malt — the backbone of a proper Indian cup.
Every Shree Chai blend starts with the same leaf — single-region Assam CTC, bought by the chest and graded before it's packed. One origin, done properly, is worth more than a shelf of blends.
