Our story
TK Bhai had one stubborn idea.
In India, the chai stall is a daily ritual. You pass one on the way to work, on the walk home, on the corner near the station. The tea is strong, the spices are whole, and the conversation is easy. It's not a beverage — it's a pause in the day.
When TK Bhai moved to Chicago, he missed that pause. The Loop had coffee on every block, but a cup of genuine masala chai — brewed, not steeped from a bag — was nowhere to be found. The 'chai tea latte' on most menus wasn't wrong, exactly. It just wasn't the chai he grew up on.
