From our family to your cup
Where it began
I was sixteen the summer I learned chai in my aunt’s kitchen in Nadiad, India. She pounded fresh ginger, cardamom, black pepper and cloves, added them to boiling water, then the tea, then the milk, and let it simmer while the whole family gathered around. Sometimes it was fifteen minutes, sometimes an hour. Sometimes she made a second pot just so we could keep talking.
After I married, chai time came with me. Today my sons wait for it too.
Why I made T2GO
I wanted to share that cup with friends and neighbors, but not everyone has time to simmer chai on the stove. Every instant chai I tried tasted sweet and flat, nothing like home.
So I started testing: tea, spices, milk, and how to bring them together without losing the flavor. After many batches, T2GO was born: real chai in 30 seconds, just add hot water.
With love,

You’ll often find us at farmers markets and festivals around Orange County, pouring cups of chai and chatting with neighbors.
