why our chai hits different

elaichi co. other chai
fresh harvest yep not really
organic tea farm in assam who knows
flavor rich, deeply spiced bitter and flat
ingredients tea and cardamom tea dust, fillers
pre-sweetened nope usually

why people keep coming back

01

crash-free energy

L-theanine in black tea gives steady focus without the coffee crash.

02

just two ingredients

organic CTC black tea + hand-crushed cardamom. that's it!

03

tea-forward

chai the way it's made back home. strong taste, without the bitterness so you can enjoy it sugar-free too.

04

farm to cup

from a single-origin farm in assam to your kitchen. we know everyone's name along the way.

a note from mojo + zainab

hi friends,

We started elaichi co. to share the chai we grew up on. The exact cup our moms made us every morning before school.

This mother's day, we're thinking about how much our moms gave up to give us a better life here. As life gets busier, we're trying to be more intentional about spending time with them. The best way we know how is to make them a cup of chai and reminisce together.

If you've got a mom like that, this week is for her. A cup that reminds her of home and a few quiet minutes together. Take 15% off everything with mom15 through sat may 2.

with warmth,
mojo + zainab
founders, and very lucky kids

"elaichi co. is distinguishing itself from the crowd by putting an emphasis on quality ingredients and fostering a community gathering space."
"At conventional Western coffee shops, chai is an elixir of syrups, concentrates and powders, whereas elaichi co.’s chai is a collection of labeled pots, the right ingredients and 30-minute brews. The process is a true 'labor of love.'"
"elaichi co. serves warm chai, coffee and an assortment of Pakistani-inspired cakes and pastries with a cozy and alluring seating space."
