Tea of the Month 25%off

During January, people tend to think more about their diet and health.  To promote good health, our tea of the month selection is Organic Yerba Maté. 

Yerba Mate is related to the holly plant and is one of the most nutritionally dense plants in the world.  It contains many polyphenols, antioxidants, nutrients and amino acids.  It is known to be a healthy energizing alternative to coffee.  It also can act as a hunger suppressant, which is great when you’re on the go.

Artists Proposals:

Chaibaba is sending out an artist proposal call to have new work displayed in-store for the months of February to April, 2012.  Work needs to suit the tea house vibes, as well as being framed/matted or on canvas/board.  Deadline is Jan.28th.

Currently we are show casing Marion Krahn’s beautiful paintings and photos.  If you haven’t taken a look, come in to the tea house to view them before they’re gone!

New Teas:

Comfort: stay cozy warm with this spiced herbal blend, with chamomile and apple, while keeping your mind perked with cardamom and cinnamon.

Winter Chocolate: This deeelicious rooibos blend was a hit during the christmas season!  We have just ordered more so we can satisfy your chocolate cravings in a healthy way. Sure to be a poplular tea during Valentine’s Day next month. 

Treat yourself to this rooibos blend with cocoa bits!  A decadent winter treat containing chicory, cinnamon, black pepper and ginger.

Drink Feature:

Gingerbread Chai Lattes only $3.50! (while quantities last)

Did you know CHAIBABA offers 4 different unsweetened non-dairy milk alternatives? For our yummy tea lattes, we offer rice, soy, almond and coconut milk.

Let’s make 2012 a year of positive transformation. Cultivate the love within you and let it shine!

Inside our October Newsletter

by Chaibaba on October 14, 2011

Meet the McCulloughs

Chaibaba is excited to welcome Glenn, Deb and Dylan McCullough, as the new owners of Chaibaba-Kelowna.

Meet the McCulloughs - Glenn, Deb and Dylan

The McCullough family are long time lovers of tea rituals and will bring their skills, personalities and vision to Chaibaba. Glenn says, “we will continue to honour the Chaibaba traditions and values instilled by Tina and Lindsay, as well as bring new ideas to Chaibaba, including the Chaibaba on-line store and Chaibaba festivals”. The McCullough’s are looking forward to this new endeavour and to meeting each of you.

Exciting news! Online Store on its way … 

We are creating a CHAIBABA on-line store, which will be up and running very soon. This is a great opportunity for our customers to access and share our teas around the world as well as for our out-of-town customers to keep their shelves stocked full of their favourite Chaibaba teas. You’ll find our great teas and merchandise at very affordable prices, all just a click away. The store will be updated regularly with Chaibaba monthly specials, new teas and announcements.

New Equipment

One of the first steps Glenn has taken is to upgrade the existing equipment in the store. You’ll notice immediately the new state of the art steamer and refrigerator, which will enhance your delicious lattes. As well, a new hot water tower has been installed to provide water temperature options for the more sensitive green, white, yerba maté and matcha teas. And for those of you who enjoy a crumpet with your tea, we have a new large baked goods display case that will be full of healthy, tea-infused locally baked treats for you to enjoy.

Teas and Workshops

Tea Workshop: The Culture of Tea | Wednesday October 19 | 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. | $20 | *Reserve your spot today!

When you see him in the shop, ask him how his music endeavours are going. He is the lead singer for the psychedelic power funk band, Pull InCase of Fire. His favourite tea is Mocha Mint Yerba Maté and he is looking forward to meeting you and preparing your favourite tea!
