About UsChai Tea™
is a 20 year old, wholly Australian owned company.
Located deep in the forest, on an intentional community/land sharing co-operative called Bundagen, we are completely “off the grid”. What this means is that not only is the Chai Tea Co. run exclusively on solar power, but so too are the homes of all the members of our team.
That’s us, the happy bunch pictured below. And that’s the beautiful Chai Shed door, behind which our office is located and where all the blending and packing of our nine products takes place by hand, with love.
For the last twenty years the Chai Shed has operated in the same way it does today; solely on the ecologically safe, renewable resources of solar power and human energy. This makes the Chai Tea Co. an innovator, both in our commitment to the Environment and in bringing Chai, and the authentic flavours of India to Australia.
We use recycled cardboard packaging for our Chai boxes and a plastic inner bag for only one of our products; the super spicy and incredibly aromatic Spiced Dandelion. (Shopkeepers found it hard to work alongside it when the smells were wafting around their shops – they just couldn’t stop having dandi breaks!) We feel deeply committed to keeping our “consumables” to an absolute minimum, in keeping with our environmental ethics and those of Chai Tea’s founder, Peter Connell.
All of us at Chai Tea have long been enamoured of Mother India and her bountiful gifts. We believe the unique combination of spices in a traditional Masala Chai, present in our Rainbow Chai range, to be one of these bountiful gifts, and we take great pleasure in sharing it with you.
