Our Story

Fly Chai didn't start as a business plan. It started on a stove in Chicago. Growing up, the smell of boiling cardamom and ginger wasn’t just a drink—it was the signal that the door was open. In my house, if the pot was on, you were welcome.

FROM THE TRENCHES TO THE TRADITION

I spent my career in the trenches of hospitality—hotels, high-volume restaurants, and entertainment venues. I learned how to serve thousands, but I never forgot how to serve one. I realized the 'chai' most people were drinking was a syrup-filled shadow of the real thing. I knew I had to bridge the gap.

The Fly Chai HQ

I built the Fly Chai HQ in Beaverton to honor my mother’s recipe while pushing the culture forward. We use premium Assam tea and raw, hand-crushed spices. No powders. No shortcuts. No cap.
