our story
It was 2016 and I was a part-time chef working in Harlem, New York for TaskRabbit, an app that assigned you random tasks around the city. One day I was assigned a house cleaning job where I met the sweetest old lady with the most genuine spirit, pure nurturing grandma energy. We became close immediately, even though she spoke no English, so Google became our third friend. She would put on a pot of THE BEST DAMN CHAI everytime she expected me over to clean her apartment. She would sit close wherever I was cleaning and our phones would chime between each other and we'd laughed or she'd made her "mhm" sounds. It felt like HOME. I enjoyed our friendship for 3 months until I stopped receiving her request on the app suddenly. I did go to her apartment to check on her especially after she told me she was here with no family. She wasn't there though. Her landlord said she moved out with no notice a couple weeks before, so I figured she went back home. I was saddened by her sudden departure, especially because she was one of the few people that saw me in my entirety and accepted my spirit and boy did I miss THE BEST DAMN CHAI. So, that's why I started this tea company, to honor my friend by recreating THE BEST DAMN CHAI but through the eyes of a chef with a North Asia twist.
