About

At Say When, we believe that great things can begin with a heartwarming cup of chai. Strangers turn into friends, and friends become family. 

Over chai, we’ve also built lasting relationships with ethical and sustainable suppliers near and far. Together we are making a world of difference. Cheers to that!

Ingredients & method

The perfect, shareable chai can only be made with superior ingredients, and we use the best of the best. Each chai blend is kettle-brewed with whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric and ginger, organic teas, natural sweeteners, and purified British Columbia mountain water. 

We practice Slow Food principles.  We believe in taking time to brew the chai, so you can take your time enjoying it. Every brew of chai is handcrafted in small batches by our Brewmasters in a state-of-the-art microbrewing facility.  The result? The best dang chai this side of the Himalayas.

Sustainability

We do our best to lessen our impact on the environment. 

1. Our higher concentrated products means less packaging, less storage, less post-consumer waste and fewer trucks on the road.

2. We use organic ingredients in an earth-friendly approach to brewing.

3. Where possible we source ingredients directly from farmers and farmer-based co-ops ensuring they receive equitable pricing for crops, direct trade, community development and environmental stewardship. 

Overall, we strive to be authentic, honest and respectful of our suppliers, our customers and our staff.   We work hard to brew a chai that you can feel good about drinking.

  • Q: Were you previously DBA as 'The Chai Company'?
    Yes we were! We've been 'The Chai Company' for the past 20 years and decided it was time for a name and brand that was more reflective of our values and beliefs rather than just what we make. Our chai recipes, brewing method, ownership and enthusiastic team members remain the same!
  • Q: Can I mix & match different chai's within a case?
    If you were used to ordering mixed cases from our old website, you can certainly still do so! Just follow these steps:

    1. Order 1 full case from either the CORE range or MORE TO POUR range, depending which range you're looking to order, and check out.

    2. Send an email to Orders@JustSayWhen.com with your order number and let us know which mix you'd like!

    Please note that we cannot mix and match blends between our Core series and More to Pour series - mixed cases must stay within the same range! (For example, you can mix and match between Spicy/Dirty/Golden only and mix and match between Authentic/Oolong/Grizzly only).
