Everything for a good cup of chai, in one black gift box. A small brass jar for your tea leaves, a four inch brass spoon to measure them, and our compact brass tea strainer, each made by hand in India.
Fill the jar with loose leaf tea or chai masala and keep it by the stove. Spoon it into the pan, let it boil, then pour through the strainer straight into the cup.
It arrives gift boxed, ready to give. The brass darkens gently with use, and polishes back whenever you want it to.

Why brass belongs in your home?
Brass has a rich history that dates all the way back to 300 BCE. Over time, it found its way to India through ancient trade routes. Today, India is the largest producer and exporter of brass. In this blog, we highlight five reasons why bringing brass in your home is a good idea.

Brass Care
Keeping your food grade brass pieces from Vaarsa London is easier than you think. Simple steps you can use:
📌Start by gently emptying the piece and hand-washing the residue.
📌Then, for the deep clean mix Pitambari powder with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it on the brass in gentle circular motions. Let it sit for a minute then rub again, especially over tarnished spots. It’s normal if the paste darkens, that means it’s working.
📌Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely using a soft microfibre cloth before you use it again.
And that’s it. Your brass, cleaned, cared for, and glowing like new.
