Taught by Dona Chai

Amy Rothstein

Amy was born and raised in the Detroit area. She attended the University of Michigan, where Ann Arbor’s local food community nurtured her interest. She then moved to Boulder, Colorado where she worked on an urban farm and completed a farm-to-table culinary program. In the fall of 2012, Amy moved to Brooklyn to enroll in NYU Steinhardt’s Food Systems graduate program, class of 2014. Amy founded Dona Chai in March of 2014. Dona Chai is now the leading provider of the highest quality, handcrafted chai tea in Brooklyn.

Dain Evans

Dain, a Detroit-area native, graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2013. Shortly after, he moved to Brooklyn to pursue a career in outreach and communications. After meeting Amy, owner and founder of Dona Chai, at a small flea market in Park Slope, these two Michiganders decided to work in tandem. Dain is currently the Director of Communications at Dona Chai. 

The Company

Dona Chai is Brooklyn's first chai tea concentrate. Our tea is handcrafted in small batched using cold-pressed ginger, vanilla bean, freshly ground cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns, and organic black tea. The slow steeping process builds complexity of flavor and preserves the purity of our ingredients. The result is a cup of bold and flavorful chai tea - fresh, natural, and Brooklyn-made.

With roots in india, chai tea--a rich, robust, and spiced tea drink--has gained global popularity. Yet the title often stirs confusion. What is chai? How is it prepared? And how does traditional chai compare to the new wave of chai lattes that appear on coffeeshop menus?

Join Brooklyn’s Dona Chai to discuss the history of chai, make and sample different blends, and experiment with creative ways to use chai tea. Guests will leave with a deeper understanding of chai, recipe cards, and a bottle of Dona Chai.
