While traveling in India we collected discarded matchboxes on the roads. There are so many, and it’s sorta like trading cards among travelers. These, along with the countless, amazing retro designs from India’s past (recorded in the beautiful book, LIGHT ON INDIA by Warren Dotz), inspired me to create these masala chai spice icons. I added a page here with this art, a description of each spice and tips for using it in chai.

We thought it would be fun to send an archival art print to one of you fellow chai lovers. If you’d like be included in the give-away drawing, share YOUR favorite masala chai spice(s) you like to use in a comment. We’ll draw a name February 21st and mail it off to the lucky winner. After the drawing, this print will be available in my shop. I hope you enjoy it!

To celebrate Jenny’s new Chai Pilgrimage selection on cardstore.com, we are giving away a set of 5 of our favorite cards.  To enter, just leave a comment on this post describing your favorite masala chai.  We will select the winner at random on Thursday, March 12th and announce it in a post later that day.  The lucky winner will be contacted by email for a mailing address.  Good luck and thanks for visiting our site!
