Our Founder
Barbara Cameron
Blue Lotus Chai was born from a passion for delicious, authentic masala chai that she had in India.
After many trips, she was inspired to create a product that honored the essence of these experiences. Thus, came Blue Lotus Chai
Fabriqué avec passion
De retour chez elle, Barbara avait pour objectif de créer un chai qui satisferait même les amateurs de chai les plus ardents. Un plat rapide et facile à préparer, pur et authentique, abordable et polyvalent. De retour en Inde, une source de thé infusé naturellement séché rapidement a été trouvée et des épices biologiques ont été échantillonnées pour affiner les saveurs les plus qualitatives et les plus robustes. Avec tous les ingrédients trouvés, Barbara a affiné la recette à la perfection.
Un héritage durable
Since 2010
Le résultat? Notre mélange phare bien-aimé, le Masala Chai traditionnel, a marqué la naissance de Blue Lotus Chai Company en février 2010. Plus d'une décennie plus tard, nous maintenons notre engagement envers des mélanges masala chai authentiques et innovants, sans ingrédients artificiels ni sucres ajoutés.
Nous vous invitons à essayer par vous-même (goûter, c'est croire !) et à nous rejoindre dans notre mission visant à changer la façon dont le monde boit le chai, un quart de cuillère à café à la fois.
The Blue Lotus
Recognized across many cultures for thousands of years, the lotus flower symbolizes immaculate purity. The lotus seed holds perfectly formed leaves, a blueprint for the mature plant. Growing in muddy waters, the lotus flower remains robust, clean, and luminous. Each day, it rises above the water, opening its petals towards the sun, and in the evening, it folds its petals and sinks below the surface.
The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is revered as a symbol of radiant intelligence and enlightenment, known for its mystical qualities. It appears in significant works of art among Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists, as well as Ancient Egypt. In Egypt, the flower is depicted on monuments, papyrus scrolls, pillars, and thrones, honoring Ra, the bringer of light. In Buddhism, the blue lotus represents the triumph of the mind over the senses and wisdom over suffering. In India, it symbolizes individual development and the expansion of the soul.
Our Commitment
At Blue Lotus Chai, we celebrate the human spirit and embrace the wisdom of love in action.
Through the years, we’ve remained steadfast in our commitment to serving the greater good. Without our broader vision, or our loyal customers, we wouldn’t be the unique family company we are today.
