3 places we'd send a friend to, with prices we checked ourselves.
Mumbai drinks chai by the cutting glass, but its loose-leaf shopping is easy to map. A Delhi-born tea boutique keeps three shops in the city, from Kala Ghoda to a mall in Lower Parel; a Mumbai brand founded in 2010 sells its teas from counters inside gourmet supermarkets; and the chai café chains pack their masala blends to take home. Everything below ships across India, so what you taste in the shop is easy to reorder.
