Location: Gujarat
Description: Whilst chai exists all over India in one form or another I think some note should be paid to the unique form it takes in the state of Gujarat. It is not just that the standard of chai here is very high (with the spicing of ginger and cardamon always being just right). It is that the Gujarati's seem to take chai very seriously with shops exclusively dedicated to the stuff (sans samosa, sans fried snacks, sans everything). On top of this the chai is always served in cute little cups and saucers (picture to follow). All of these things make chai in Gujarat a thoroughly charming experience.
