I am fascinated with how things work, from the most complicated mechanism to the most simplistic detail and I enjoy finding a balance to make sure all are answered correctly.

“The Chai product range has a compelling narrative and a brand which brings this story to life in an elegant, simple and, most importantly, engaging manner.� Dom Aldred. Director, Gardiner Richardson
The Chai infuser brings a new archetype to the loose tea market by using a bimetallic mechanism and a mechanical timer to monitor the temperature and steeping time. The tea kettle combines metal, double layered glass and ceramic which allows it to be used on any heating platform and enhances the visual experience while remaining cool to the touch.
