Hand-blended spices. Age-old recipes. A warm corner in the city where every sip feels like coming home — no matter where you're from.
Sourced directly from India — no blends, no shortcuts.
Every batch slow-simmered to order. Never pre-made.
The same blend your chai-wala knew by heart.
Who We Are
We packed our grandmother's spice box, moved to the Pacific Northwest, and opened the chai shop we always wished existed here.
Back in Hyderabad, chai wasn't just a morning ritual — it was how you welcomed a stranger, celebrated a moment, or simply paused in the middle of a busy day. When we came to the Pacific Northwest, we found amazing coffee shops everywhere, but nothing that felt like that. So we built it.
Every spice in our blends is sourced directly from India. Every recipe has been tested, tweaked, and tested again until it tasted exactly like it should — like something your nani made, but in a cup that fits your commute.
No syrups, no artificial flavors. Real spice, real tea, real milk.
We don't rush the chai. Every batch simmers until it's right.
Whether you're discovering chai for the first time or missing your hometown cup — you're welcome here.
