How it does good
The story starts with ingredients
Tea and spices can be high risk categories when it comes to traceability and origin. DONA is working toward 100% single origin or directly traded ingredients, and they're committed to doing more for transparency in the spice industry. They deal directly with farmers in collectives across the globe to ensure the people who grow their ingredients are paid fairly. Plus, they divert over 400 gallons of food scraps a week from landfills by sending them to McEnroe Farm in New York for composting.
The black pepper is organically grown by a cooperative of small farmers in Zanzibar, Tanzania, and the turmeric is hand-picked at William Flores's farm in Guirruca, Nicaragua. They're also a leading company in direct sourcing of spices from all over the world. They make sure to pay farmers higher wages, and pride themselves on knowing where their spices come from.
Learn MoreThey're currently working towards 100% zero waste brewing and are actively limiting synthetics and single-use plastics in their production. Instead of polyester-based tape, they’ve switched to paper packing tape, and their signature glass bottles are reusable as flower vases, soap dispensers and to-go water bottles.

Café Not Needed
I'm a very picky person, especially when it comes to my chai. It's too sweet, too "manufactured" or too spicy. Once I went DONA, I couldn't go back. It's honestly the perfect balance between spice and sweetness. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients and now I feel like I have my own barista in the kitchen. It couldn't be easier to make a hot or cold latte. And, what makes it even sweeter, I don't have to waste paper cups. The beautiful glass container looks great on my shelf and is fully recyclable. If you're a chai-lover, I highly recommend this (and the turmeric one too!).

Yummm
Love it mixed with half a cup of oat or macadamia milk. Great flavor and not too sweet.

easy to use and excellent flavor
delicious as promised!

Cold brew coffee
I didn’t like this as a chai latte with various nut milks (almond, coconut, oat) but did enjoy it in my homemade cold brew. I add a splash of maple syrup to sweeten it with a 1-2 tbsp of chai concentrate. It tastes like pumpkin coffee.

It’s fine…
This was a bit too sweet (and I love sugar) and has weak flavor. Not bad overall but I wouldn’t pay for it again.

In the search for ultimate balance, this lightly sweet and perfectly spiced masala chai concentrate has achieved the ideal status for a beverage.
