My Story

As you would guess it, I love Chai. Chai has all those warm flavors and it is nostalgic in a sense - it reminds me of the holidays or just wrapping up in a cozy blanket, sitting next to a fire. Over the years, I have experienced many different Chai teas, and I am sure just like you, not every Chai is the same. There are so many variations that you can do with the spices and that is why I enjoy it so much.

I had worked for a tea company where I learned all the different ways Chai can be made. I was blown away and I was introduced to some really unique blends. Having said that, I have had some great cups of tea and some not so great or just not what I was hoping for. Sometimes when I would find a Chai that I liked, the tea eventually was discontinued or I could no longer find it or wasn’t easily accessible.

I became somewhat frustrated that I could not find my perfect cup of Chai. This is how this business began - making my own Chai to my liking. I want to be able to make YOUR perfect cup of Chai.

The teas that I make are solely the spices alone. No tea leaves added, meaning no black tea, no white tea, no nothing. Since I just mix the spices, I want to be able to give people the option of having it just that way or the option of adding tea or tea substitutes to their blend. When I was creating this business, I wanted to be able to make a product that was flexible. I find that by having it this way, people can play around with the tea and decide at home how they liked it prepared.

Being that I am conscious of my dairy intake, I also don't often drink it as a latte, as many people do enjoy it that way. My blends do not contain any dairy, but at home you can prepare it however you please. I do prepare a tea with nuts, so if you are sensitive, please be conscious of that. I do my best to keep things separate to protect those with allergies.

Most of the ingredients I use are organic/non-GMO and fair trade. I try to use locally sourced ingredients, such as Equator coffee and Tea and Trumpets, when available. I use eco-friendly, sustainable packaging and I am a plastic free business.

When ordering, you can have it shipped to you or picked up at will-call for those nearby Petaluma. Thank you for your interest and support in my business!
