Britannia
Britannia began as a biscuit business in a small house in Calcutta in 1892, and we stock two from its Good Day line, the Cashew Cookies and the Butter Cookies. Britannia calls Good Day India's original cookie, crunchy and buttery, and it is here because a cup of masala chai deserves the biscuit it is so often served with.

About Britannia
Britannia is one of India's best-known food companies, with more than 130 years behind it. It began in 1892 as a biscuit-making operation in a small house in Calcutta, now Kolkata, started with an investment of 295 rupees. The company was incorporated as Britannia in 1918, renamed Britannia Industries in 1979, and has been controlled by the Wadia Group, one of India's oldest conglomerates, since 1993. It now sells in more than 80 countries, and biscuits remain at the heart of the business.
Good Day belongs next to a cup of masala chai, milky and sweet, or a strong Assam brewed long with plenty of milk. The butter cookie is the easier all-rounder for a family tin; the cashew version, richer and nuttier, suits a quieter mid-morning cup.
