&ldquo;The book is for &nbsp;the people who more than anything look forward to their morning cup of chai, shared over conversations with their family. &nbsp;For the people who at the end of the day, just want to sit down and unwind over a hot cup of chai with their partner. It&rsquo;s also for those people who love to invite friends over for some chai and light snacks,&rdquo; says Sahay.

The collection of recipes in the book have been sourced from family and friends and during the author&rsquo;s travels. &ldquo;One of my favourite aspects of the book is my visit to the tea-making ethnic minorities in the remote interiors of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Singphos and Aadi tribes have been making tea since the dawn of time.&rdquo; She has shared these experiences in the chapters titled Phalap and Alle Saang.&nbsp;
Sahay adds, &ldquo;In the beginning, when I started penning down my thoughts, I thought it would be a good idea to know the tea a bit better so I joined a sommelier course in Guwahati. It was an interesting course as it answered a lot of my questions about the various varieties, the difference between CTC and full leaf teas and how it became such a beloved beverage in India. The book is a travelogue on every tea-growing state in India.&rdquo;
