Founded by Monica Sunny in Atlanta, Georgia, The Chai Box brings the art of traditional Indian Chai to modern homes through premium, small-batch Masala Chai Concentrate and handcrafted loose-leaf blends. Inspired by Monica’s Indian heritage and family recipes, our products are made in-house using organic tea and premium spices sourced from family-owned farms in India. We believe exceptional Chai starts with exceptional ingredients and honors the people and traditions behind every cup. Through responsible sourcing, sustainable production practices, and innovative retail experiences, including Atlanta's first Chai cafe, we are making thoughtfully crafted Chai more accessible while sharing the richness of Indian Chai culture.

Monica Sunny is the Founder and CEO of The Chai Box, a nationally recognized tea company specializing in hand-blended loose-leaf Chai and small-batch Masala Chai Concentrate, crafted with ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients and produced entirely in-house. What began as a way to share her love of Chai with her three boys has grown into an award-winning brand featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things and in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Food Network, and Forbes.

Before founding The Chai Box, Monica built a career in human resource development and consulting, working with organizations including Bank of America, Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, and Chick-fil-A. Today, she also serves as Chief Blending Officer, personally crafting blends that bring the rich traditions of Chai to the modern day.

In June 2026, Monica expanded her vision with the opening of Atlanta’s first Chai Cafe, creating a welcoming space for the community to experience the everyday ritual of Chai.
