1

Those jitters and afternoon crashes get replaced by smooth energy

Coffee caffeine spikes your system, leaving you jittery and crashing by the late-morning. However, the caffeine in chai is paired with L-theanine (a natural compound) to deliver a steady, sustained energy that carries you through the whole day with no crashes.

2

You discover new flavors you can never find in coffee

From the warming notes of cardamom and ginger to floral peaks of rose, chai opens up a whole world of subtle sweet and nutty flavors that coffee simply can't touch. Swap out the bitterness of coffee for the delicious nature of chai.

3

Your focus and concentration improves thanks to L-theanine

L-theanine, a natural compound found in black tea, works with caffeine and has been shown to sharpen brain waves to improve focus and concentration. While coffee makes you scattered and anxious, chai helps you dial in on the important things.

4

Your stomach and gut start getting happier and healthier

Coffee is notoriously acidic and known to irritate the gut lining. The spices in masala chai – ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper, have been used as digestive aids for centuries and help reduce inflammation, ease bloating and cool your gut.

"I make it every morning without fail. The 6 minutes is the most peaceful part of my day."

A morning ritual gives you peace and saves you money

Your daily coffee costs you $100+ every month, whereas brewing chai at home costs a fraction of the price and turns those first few minutes into a grounding ritual you actually look forward to.
