“When we slow down with tea, we are gifted with a moment to notice peace and love.”

Tea isn’t just for drinking - it’s for meditation.

Settle into the cozy Chaibaba store and breathe in the delicious scent of cinnamon. Take in the zingy turquoise walls with beautiful local artwork and ease into relaxation with a hot drink and a warm welcome.

Glenn McCullough was a customer before he bought Chaibaba in August 2011. Fascinated with the history and science of tea - he had no previous experience until he started working with store manger, Lindsay Favell. Now, it’s Glenn’s mission to create community - one cup at a time.

Chaibaba sources their tea from China, India, Sri Lanka, and South America. They create unique blends in-store, and are known for their specialty teas: Inspiring - a lemongrass and ginger blend, cocoNUT green - sweet coconut and walnut with green tea, dark roast yerba maté - maté and chicory, and happiness - a citrus rooibos infusion.

Passionate about the earth, and serving the community, Chaibaba serves their tea in recycled cups, use local recycling systems and composts their tea leaves. They donate gift baskets for silent auctions to different wellness organizations, and host a Japanese exchange student every year.

Learn about the science, culture, spirit, and health benefits of tea, and try samples of their delicious brews at one of Chaibaba’s monthly workshops.

Let each sip guide your meditation. Namastea.
