Upon learning of her newborn's sensitivity to caffeine and discovering her own growing sensitivity to dairy, Nichole Nduati began searching for a vegan chai latte to replace her favorite guilty pleasure.

When none could be found, she started experimenting with her own recipes, and after sharing those creations with friends and family, Nichole and her husband decided to launch a business selling tea blends, now known as Teajani.

Each Teajani blend is crafted with care, sourced from small family farms, and focused on intentional living.

After losing her daughter to the catastrophic 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Cherylann Gengel co-founded Be Like Brit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the children of Haiti by establishing a safe, nurturing, and sustainable orphanage.

At the time of her passing, Britney Gengel was on a mission trip with her college and had been texting her mom about the experience, expressing her desire to one day open an orphanage for the children she had grown to love.

Now, 15 years later, Brit's legacy of compassion and hope lives on through Brit's Home in Haiti and all the other ways Be Like Brit provides education, healthcare, and support to Haitian children.
