pov: you got to be a chaiwala and take home your own custom chai blend ☕️😝

We had a nonstop line the entireee time - can’t believe this was such a hit!!

We let our guests choose whatever spices they wanted to add into the elaichi co. tea blend to make chai their way. I originally planned to have a barista crushing the spices one by one but realized that would’ve been soo exhausting so we decided to let everyone else crush it themselves, learn what the perfect crushed spice looks like, and do it the old school way with a mortar and pestle (we didn’t have any outlets for electric grinders lol).

Fun fact: we also use mortar and pestle every day to crush our spices for our chai! They’re much more fresh, and the chai tastes better 😝

Clips:

Tell us your fav chai spice combo and it might show up as a menu item 👀
