My Story
Before founding Morning Glory Chai, I spent years visiting my cousin in Seattle, where I loved the espresso culture but felt something was missing—a warming blend of spices like ginger and pepper to combat the chill. My mission became clear: to create a chai that would warm both body and soul. Using tonic herbs, select spices, and strong tea, I crafted a brew that boosts mental clarity, stimulates circulation, and provides warm comfort on Seattle's drizzly days. When I first arrived in Seattle with just $200 and a small pot for brewing chai, I dreamed of working at Tenzing Momo, a Tibetan apothecary in Pike Place Market. I walked in, ordered herbs for my experiments, and confidently asked for a job. Soon, I had access to 1,000 herbs and a team of herbalists to help refine my chai recipes. That fall, I spent hours blending teas, herbs, and spices, diving deep into the world of herbal medicine and chai.
By 1996, I started brewing chai at the Black Cat Cafe, then opened my first commercial kitchen in Ballard. After building Mr. Spot’s Chai House in 1998, I focused on growing my wholesale chai business. In 2008, when the Chai House café changed hands, I moved the brewing operation to our current location in Greenwood, where we’ve been making chai all day, every day since.
I’m proud to share my nourishing, spicy chai with people far and wide, fueling the dreams of change-makers at home and abroad. Here's to supporting your journey with every cup!

Let customers speak for us
I no longer live in Seattle and there's no other chai like Morning Glory to be found elsewhere. The flavors are so spicy, invigorating and uplifting. The brew at home kit keeps me from complaining too much about how I can't find Morning Glory in other states.
I have been a follower of Morning Glory Tea spice chai since I first tasted it more than a decade ago. I consider myself a connoisseur of spicy chai, and this is the most flavorful by far. Very unusual and rich tasting tea.
If you love Chai Tea you will love Morning Glory’s Spicy Chai Tea. I have tried chai tea all around the world and hands down Morning Glory is the BEST!
Excellent as usual it’s nice also to have the variety and the smaller bottles love the choices. All of them are excellent especially the regular and the herbal my least favorite is lemon, but it is still good with a little honey. Great product.
From the way my home smells when brewing to sipping a warm cup in the morning, this chai is a feast for the senses.
Morning Glory Chai is a long time champion, and always adds a little spice to life. Love you forever! 💕
I brew a gallon of the spicy chai every week religiously. I used to make my own chai each morning from scratch with far fewer ingredients which took a lot of time. This saves me so much time! I love the spiciness of it, a complex well balanced blend, and the ability to control the amount and what type of sweetener to use.
I live in a small community and everyone knows I brew morning glory chai on a regular basis. Neighbors stop by for tea, and tell me if they’ve never had chai this tasty!! My favorite is your spiced chai with your green chai a close second! Thanks for making me so popular!!
Chai is my favorite...and I've tried many of them. I chose to order Morning Glory and have it shipped because it is the best I've ever had. I hope they never change the recipe...Thank you!
Watch out, this stuff is addictive! The home brew kit is my favorite since I can't have sugar. The spice is so warming and delicious, especially in the winter. We all need more spice in our life!
I have tried many chai blends but this one by far is the best. I have purchased the pre made at my local store it was fantastic. The home brew is fun and delicious and can make it a touch more spicy . The house smells amazing as well when brewing.
After tasting MG Chai years ago at their shop in Seattle I fell in love with Chai. I am from Michigan and have traveled quite a bit 22 countries and many states. Nowhere have i tasted anything that come close to Morning Glory Chai. The pure rich non milky or sugar others cant compete. Unfortunately we dont have it in Michigan. Shipping is quite expensive. But every now and then I have to just eat the cost to enjoy this excellent product.
This is the best chai you’re going to find. Morning Glory Chai has been a part of my morning routine for years and it never disappoints.

Don’t waste anymore time click on add to cart and then go brag to all of your friends that you know where to find the best chai.
This is by far the best chai mix on the market. Separating the tea leaves out from the spices makes much more customizable than other brands. Plus the quality of the ingredients is great. Canning finished batches in 1/2 gallon mason jars and keeping them in the refrigerator means I almost always have masala chai ready to go. Amazing savings compared to the coffee shop and I can choose to have a spicier, less sweet mix. I never have less than 2 bags in the cupboard.
I have been a fan of Morning Glory Chai for many years. It's many flavors are delicious and it's nice to change it up when seasons change. The classic recipe is a fall favorite with some milk to make it cozy and perfect to drink while curled up with a good book. It's not too sweet and has a magical spicy zing!
