Sana Javeri Kadri

CEO, Diaspora Co.

"after 13 years in the US, drinking chai that never quite hit the spot, elaichi co. changed everything. It’s a space where South Asian culture is front and center, where we can gather in community, connect, and sip the real deal. I felt so seen! I happily make the 90-minute drive from Menlo Park just to get my chai fix.

Co-Founder, Voyager Craft Coffee

"elaichi co.'s chai is hands-down the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. It’s bold, comforting, and perfectly balanced - just the right amount of sweet and spice. It’s the kind of chai that can only come from people who truly know and love what they’re doing, and who put real care into every cup."
