For chai that tastes of earth
4.6· 5 reviewsSix little clay cups that turn morning chai into a ritual. Unglazed, so the first sip carries the mineral warmth of the earth itself.
"Kulhads have poured tea on Indian railway platforms for a century. Ours are thrown by the same families who once supplied those stations."

I was skeptical about the whole 'clay pot changes the water' thing, but after a week I can honestly tell the difference. Softer, cooler, no metallic aftertaste. The pot itself is beautiful — clearly hand-thrown, not factory perfect, and I love that.
Arrived in Pune without a single crack — properly cushioned. Seasoning ritual on the site is easy to follow. Second order coming for my mother.
Colour is slightly darker than the photo on one side (kiln flash?) but honestly it makes it feel more real. Studio replied to my WhatsApp questions within an hour.
Six kulhads, all slightly different, all lovely. The tea genuinely picks up an earthy note. My guests keep asking where I got them.
