About

Founder Brook Eddy traveled to India in 2002 to study a social justice movement based on Bhakti (or devotion through social action). Along the way, she fell in love with the aroma and flavor of the spicy masala chai ubiquitous to northern India. Upon her return to the U.S., Brook was unable to find the spicy fresh chai that she had enjoyed during her travels so she began brewing her own at home. Standing over the pot of steaming chai on her stove and inhaling the layers of fragrant spices, Brook was suddenly swept back into the chaos, colors and vibrancy of India.

When her homemade brew gained attention (and even addiction) from friends and neighbors, she decided to take the principles of Bhakti that she had learned in India and build a company on this ideal. This single mother of twins took a deep breath, quit her full time job, and dove into the process of bringing consumers a microbrewed chai that was steeped in social and environmental change.

Bhakti Chai infuses fresh-pressed organic ginger and fiery spices into Fair Trade Certified black tea for a chai that energizes the spirit. Bhakti Chai comes in both a concentrate that can be blended with any variety of milk or non-dairy beverage at a 1:1 ratio, and as Iced Bhakti Chai, available pre-mixed with organic, non-GMO soy in 16-ounce, ready-to-drink glass bottles. Both can be found in the dairy case or the refrigerated beverage aisle at grocery stores nationwide.
