you’ll feel the difference in every cup

steady energy, no buzz

crash-free energy

Black tea naturally contains L-theanine, which allows for a slow and steady release of caffiene. You feel calm and focused, without the jitters or afternoon crash that coffee brings.

natural ingredients

natural ingredients

We keep it super simple: organic CTC black tea and hand-crushed cardamom. CTC (cut, tear, curl) means that the leaves are rolled into tiny granules that brew a stronger, richer cup of chai.

good for the soul

tea-forward

Our chai blends are tea-forward with a gentle hint of cardamom. We keep it light on the spices to really bring out the flavor of the tea, but you can always add more to your liking!

farm to cup

farm to cup

Our tea comes from a single-origin farm in Assam, and our cardamom is grown on a family farm in Kerala. We don't use any dust fillers, just clean ingredients grown the same way for generations.

"after 13 years in the US, drinking chai that never quite hit the spot, elaichi co. changed everything. It’s a space where South Asian culture is front and center, where we can gather in community, connect, and sip the real deal. I felt so seen! I happily make the 90-minute drive from Menlo Park just to get my chai fix."

"elaichi co.'s chai is hands-down the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. It’s bold, comforting, and perfectly balanced – just the right amount of sweet and spice. It’s the kind of chai that can only come from people who truly know and love what they're doing, and who put real care into every cup."
