Frequently Asked Questions

black and yellow bee with light blue wings flying
Are all your spices organic?

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

Do you sell wholesale?

We do! You can search for our wholesalers using our store locator here. And if you are a wholesaler and don’t see yourself on the locator, please email wholesale@diasporaco.live and we will add you to this ASAP! Thank you!

When do the spices expire? How long do they last?

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

What is the best way to store the spices?

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

What makes Diaspora Spice Co.'s Chef Chai Duo different from other tea gift sets?

Our Chef Chai Duo puts the tea and spices in your hands separately: a chef-size tin of Chota Tingrai Black Tea, a premium black tea, and a chef-size tin of Chai Spice, a fragrant tea spice blend. Instead of a pre-mixed chai, you can play with the tea-to-spice ratio and make your cup exactly how you like it.

How do I use Diaspora Spice Co.'s Chef Chai Duo?

Brew the Chota Tingrai Black Tea with your preferred amount of Chai Spice, then add milk and sweeten to taste. You can make it strong and spicy, light and milky, or somewhere in between. The ratio is up to you.

What is included in the Chef Chai Duo?

The set includes two chef-size tins: Chota Tingrai Black Tea, a bold and malty Assam CTC black tea, and Chai Spice, a fragrant tea spice blend. Keep them separate, or mix and match to build your ideal cup of chai.

Can I use the Chef Chai Duo for more than just traditional chai?

Absolutely. Brew the Chota Tingrai Black Tea on its own for a bold, malty cup, or use Chai Spice in baked goods, oatmeal, desserts, and other drinks. You can also experiment with different tea-to-spice ratios to make your own take on chai. If you prefer loose leaf tea, you can also enjoy the tea on its own according to your preferred brewing method.

Who is Diaspora Spice Co.'s Chef Chai Duo designed for?

For chai people and anyone who likes a little room to experiment. It's a great tea gift set for longtime chai drinkers, curious home cooks, and anyone who wants to make a really good cup of chai at home, with the freedom to make it their own.
