The Amachi’s Chai tale
An emotional and inspiring story lies behind an authentic tea shop, known to be Amachi’s Chai.
This tea shop steals much attention as it has almost 21 varieties of tea served. R. Samuel is the owner of the stall and an entrepreneur by profession. Samuel is also known to be the man behind all these amazing tasty chais. This talented tea master has the talent to make all these teas without a slight change in the recipe.
During an interview with Varnam Malaysia, Samuel shared some stories about his tea stall. ‘Amachi was my grandma, she passed away two years ago and she always wanted to see me as a successful businessman one day. After her loss, I decided to name my first business after her. Ammachi has always been close to my heart, she always will be’, said the entrepreneur while feeling emotional.
When asked why a tea business, Samuel said his mum makes the best masala tea. ‘It’s her iconic cup of tea and her secret home blend herbs that inspired me,’ he shared. Samuel’s tea business sparked there. Starting the business small at Ipoh, Buntong in 2021 this young man decided to move to Kl to bring this tea stall to another level.
‘Back in Ipoh, we sold these teas, on roadsides. We received so much good feedback on our tea’. Samuel then made his research and found out that tea (chai) stalls are rarely found and having one in a city would make a good deal. That is when Samuel moved to KL to find a permanent stall for his chai business. In March 2022, Amachi’s Chai was situated temporarily in brickfields then in September, recently it was moved to Klang.
‘I’m very grateful to finally have a stall of my own and I will keep doing my best chais for all my customers. Anyone can make a good cup of coffee but it takes a few to make a good cup of chai he added.
“Time doesn’t stop for no man. We may think we’ll have the people we love as long as we can and we have time to make them proud. Now I’m doing good but amachi isn’t able to see it.”- R.Samuel
