👑 Introducing Maharani Chai 👑

❤️Every once in a while, a customer brings you something that sparks an idea.💡

💖A wonderful couple who visits Chai Kona recently returned from their travels with a gift for us: Emperor's Seven Treasure Tea.

🤗They told us they had tried chai after chai and tea after tea during their trip. While they found one that came close, they said they never quite found anything that captured what they love about Chai Kona chai.

🎊When they returned, they brought us this tea and thought we might enjoy it.

👉We did more than enjoy it—we got inspired.💡

💯So we took the idea behind Emperor's Seven Treasure Tea, added a little creativity, a little tradition, and a whole lot of Chai Kona, and created something new:

✨ Maharani Chai ✨

⁉️Why Maharani? Because if there's an Emperor's Tea, surely there should be a Queen's Tea too.

✈️We're excited to share our Chai Kona twist on a tea that traveled across miles, carried by thoughtful customers, and transformed into something uniquely ours.❤️

☕Come try Maharani Chai and let us know what you think. 👑

💯And the wait is almost over.👉When we reopen (tomorrow @ 8 AM)🎊, you'll be able to meet our newest creation:✨ Maharani C...

🏖️ While we're on vacation...

👋Our newest chai is busy practicing its royal wave. 👑

🙇‍♀️Meet Maharani Chai—a blend inspired by Emperor's Seven Treasure Tea and crafted the Chai Kona way.✨

🤫We're not revealing all of its secrets just yet.

❤️Let's just say it's fit for royalty (that is you btw).

🚨 Chai Kona Vacation Wellness Check 🚨

How's everyone holding up?

Have you:
☐ Been fine.
☐ Thought about chai once or twice.
☐ Opened the fridge hoping a fresh chai would magically appear.
☐ Stared longingly in the direction of Chai Kona.

Be honest. This is a safe space. 😂

We'll be back soon!

👑 A new chai is preparing to take the throne...

☕While we're away enjoying a little vacation, something special is brewing behind the scenes.

✨Introducing: Maharani Chai.

👑Inspired by the flavors of Emperor's Seven Treasure Tea and given the Chai Kona treatment, this royal blend is making its debut soon.

😉For now, you'll have to wait just a little longer.

✨A Maharani (Queen) never rushes her entrance. ✨

🍎 Being an adult is weird.

👉Nobody tells you that one day you'll get excited about things like:
✓ A comfortable pair of shoes
✓ Finding a good parking spot
✓ An Apple Chai on a random Tuesday

🤷‍♀️Life comes at you fast.

😉If you're already excited about one of these things, you might as well come enjoy the third one too.
