Our Story: Real Chai for Real Moments

Our Story

About Us

In early 2022, my wife was pregnant with our first child. She craved authentic Indian chai, the kind that wraps you in warmth, passed down through generations. But everywhere we looked, we hit the same wall.

Decaf tea bags that just didn't taste authentic. Chai tea lattes loaded with artificial syrups. Pre-mixed concentrates that bore no resemblance to the real thing.

That's when I realised: if we couldn't find it, we'd have to create it.

Let's be honest about what's happened to chai in todays society.

Chai latte is often overly sweet and lacks the depth and complexity of flavours that are present in traditional masala chai. Walk into most coffee shops and you'll find sugary syrups masquerading as chai, drinks unrecognisable to anyone who's experienced authentic Indian masala chai.

Chai Latte is often made using chai tea latte mix, instant powders or syrups, stripping away everything that makes masala chai special: the careful balance of spices, the slow brewing process, the ritual passed down through Indian families for generations.

Finding authentic decaf chai proved nearly impossible. Caffeine-free chai tea contains only trace amounts of caffeine (about 2 milligrams per cup), making it a much safer choice for expecting mothers. Plus, the ginger in chai tea is known for its ability to help with nausea and morning sickness, common symptoms during pregnancy.

But most decaf options were lifeless tea bags delivering none of the aromatic spice blend or rich flavour that makes chai worth drinking.

The market failed us. The authentic masala chai we craved simply didn't exist in a pregnancy-safe format that actually tasted good.

So I decided to fix it.

Real masala chai isn't a powder, syrup, or instant mix.

Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri are the three most common types of tea used in chai in India. We chose Assam because it delivers the robust, malty base that can stand up to our eight hand-blended spices.

Our tea is sourced directly from Assam, India, single-origin estate where quality isn't an afterthought.

The spices used in masala chai most often include cardamom, grated ginger, and cinnamon. Also used are cloves, star anise, black peppercorns, mint, lemongrass, and more.

Our eight spices each serve a purpose:.

Cardamom • Cinnamon • Ginger • Black Pepper • Cloves • Nutmeg • Lemongrass • Mint.

Every batch is hand-blended to achieve the perfect balance, bold enough to taste each spice, balanced enough that no single flavour dominates.
