Rain may have cancelled the @SummerStage show, but it couldn’t stop the chai.

Big love to @DJRekha for creating space for the artists, the music, and the community to keep the night going. 🫶🏽

Grateful to be part of the vibe with Jaz Dhami, Mitika Kanwar, Babbulicious, Offering Rain, Neha Gautam, Jay Bhattacharya, DJ Rekha + the whole @BasementBhangra family.

Sometimes the best chai moments happen when the plan changes. ❤️‍🔥

Want some for yourself? Shop Roots Chai at the link in bio or come find us at our next pop-up!

A bold and fragrant blend of organic single origin black tea from our partner farm in Assam blended with fresh whole spices that transport us to the wildest dreams of our ancestors. Expect a robust deep brown tea with strong spicy notes and an aroma that will fill your home with that steamy dreamy.
