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.
Sourced from Assam, India

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."
— Priya M., verified buyer
5
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.

What tea lovers have to say
OVER 2 MILLION CUPS OF KOLKATA CHAI enjoyed
"I had 'chai lattes' from all my local coffee shops and thought that syrupy, sweet, barely-there-tea-flavor was the way chai should be. Once I tried Kolkata Chai, it was a whole new wonderful experience. I didn't know I was missing this."
Jules G, Verified Buyer
"I loved the richness and smoothness of the tea. I've had others and they have a bitterness end note — but with yours I tasted the real cardamom. The blend is just perfect with notes of cardamom, cloves, pepper and cinnamon."
Deborah T, Verified Buyer
"Best chai. I don't like most chais because they are too sweet. This has great flavor and doesn't include the honey or sweetener. I love that I control the sugar amount. It's so good I don't even need to add sweetener — and I always add sweetener."
Michael V, Verified Buyer
