For over a decade, the artisans behind this aromatic masterpiece have toiled tirelessly, honing their skills, and refining their recipe to perfection. It’s not just about the ingredients; it’s about the artistry, the finesse, and the alchemy that transforms a humble cup of tea into a sensory journey.
Founder of Navmali Chai, Jasmine Naidu, a proud Fijian residing in Melbourne, Australia reflects on the journey with gratitude and humility.
“I have been fortunate enough to have this incredible and enduring family support which led me to create this beautiful aromatic, handcrafted, freshly grounded, and whole spice chai,” they share with a twinkle in their eye.
“Our 10-spice chai is made with love and thoughts, and with my innate senses, I taught myself how to create a high-quality blend of this masala chai.”
Indeed, Navmali Chai is not just a beverage; it’s a testament to tradition and innovation. With each sip, one can taste the culmination of years of experimentation, a symphony of flavours carefully orchestrated to delight the senses and warm the heart.

Yet, Navmali Chai transcends the ordinary, offering a sensory experience that elevates the ritual of tea-drinking to new heights.
