About
A small mill with a stubborn habit for freshness
Vadnagar Tea and Spicy Masala works out of a modest unit in Naroda GIDC. We buy whole spices in small lots from Unjha and Kesod, dry roast on our own drum, and grind in short runs so the oil in the seed still smells like the field.
Everything we pack carries a mixing date on the pouch. Nothing sits in a bin for a month. If a batch has moved slowly, we sell it at a lower price instead of pushing it as fresh, because a masala loses half its life after ninety days.
The tea side is simpler. We source from small estates around the Nilgiris and Assam borders, cup them ourselves, and stock only what we would want in our own kettle. If you want a house blend for your kirana or hotel, tell us the water and the milk you use, we will match it.

What we pack
A short list, kept honest
Every pouch is date stamped. We stick to a small catalogue so we can keep an eye on every batch.
01
02House loose tea
A CTC and orthodox blend, cupped for strength with buffalo milk and a spoon of sugar. The default choice of the neighbourhood tea stalls we supply.
100 g, 250 g, 500 g. Bulk sacks on order.
03Garam masala
Ground once a week from freshly roasted coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, black pepper and mace. Kitchen strength, not the mild north Indian version.
50 g, 100 g, 250 g pouches.
04Kashmiri red chilli
Slow ground for colour without sharp heat. We pass three lots side by side to keep the shade consistent from month to month.
100 g, 250 g, 500 g pouches.
05Dhana jeera
Coriander and cumin in the Gujarati ratio, roasted just enough to bloom. Fresh nutty aroma when you open the pouch, that is the mark.
100 g, 250 g, 500 g pouches.
06Household blends on order
Sambar, rasam, pav bhaji, chhole. Small runs for a shop, or a private label pack for a hotel with your own name on it.

How a pouch happens
From the sack to the shelf, five clean steps
Step 01
Sourcing
Whole spices from Unjha, tea from small Nilgiris and Assam gardens. Every lot is smelled and hand cleaned before it enters the mill.
Step 02
Roasting
Drum roasted in small batches at low heat. Coriander, cumin and cardamom each get their own pass so nothing is scorched.
Step 03
Grinding
Short runs on a cooled mill so the oils in the seed stay in the powder, not on the walls of the grinder.
Step 04
Sieving and mixing
Every blend is sieved twice, then mixed by weight to the same recipe we have carried for years.
Step 05
Packing
Sealed in food grade laminate with a mixing date. Packed the same week it is ground, and dispatched by road across Gujarat.
Packing sizes
Sizes for kitchens, kiranas and kitchens that never sleep
