I am so excited to share with you all that I am fe I am so excited to share with you all that I am featured in your and my favourite store - IKEA! 

Last year, I was approached by IKEA to be a part of their campaign called “Store Who You Are".

I had the opportunity to work with their team virtually to bring my storage story to life through pictures and videos. Along with my husband, we created the most beautiful setups in our home, showcasing how I use different products to keep my tea shelf organized and functional. The team at IKEA made a beautiful setup and showcased how I can remake my space for better and more organized storage.

Fast forward to today, I am beyond excited to share that I am now featured on IKEA.com and will be featured in IKEA stores across the globe! Not sure if I would make up to the walls of IKEA Mumbai (where I reside), but hopefully somewhere in India! 

Also, a video featuring my story would be soon on IKEA social channels. It’s hard to put into words how surreal this feels.

I never imagined that my passion for writing about tea could lead me to something this big!

I am grateful to each one who helped me reach here!

Masala Chai is amongst the most liked teas in Indi Masala Chai is amongst the most liked teas in Indian houses. During monsoon and winter, masala chai tastes even better because of the punch of spices and aroma. 

I tried Masala Chai from @danke.tea.foods, and here's my review. 

Aroma: Typically, masala chais have a prominent aroma which easily helps one identify the spices in it. Most of these teas may have a spice that may dominate and make or break your entire tea drinking experience. One good thing about Danke Tea Masala Chai is, it has a very balanced aroma of spices. 

Ingredients in @danke.tea.foods Masala Tea : Assam CTC Black Leaf Tea, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Clove, Nutmeg & Dried Ginger.

Color: On brewing, the tea has not very dark color. If you like a dark color of tea, you will have to add more tea leaves and brew for a lesser duration.

Taste: It has the right kick of spices and a sweet finish that will make you crave for more. 

Cost: They have packaging of 250gms available on their website which costs 155 Rs i.e. 620 Rs for a kg. As compared to other brands, the cost is quite decent and affordable.

All in all, @danke.tea.foods masala chai is a delightful, spicy and warm cup of tea perfect for the cold days.
