Peace and Chai Month 2026

Peace and Chai Month 2026


Every Cup of Chai Makes a Difference

Making a difference starts with something as simple as filling your own cup. Taking a moment to slow down, enjoy a cup of chai, and care for yourself can give you the space and energy to extend that same care to others. 

To celebrate Peace and Chai Month, we asked members of the Blue Lotus Chai team to nominate organizations whose work is meaningful to them. 

Throughout September, when you shop at Blue Lotus Chai, you’ll have the opportunity to make a donation at checkout to Hope & Safety Alliance, Cascades Raptor Center, or Looking Glass Community Services.

Choose the organization you’d like to support, select your donation, and we’ll increase your impact by matching customer donations up to $500 for each organization.

Peace and Chai Month is a reminder of what inspired us to create the best chai in the first place: Peace and connection happen when we take a minute to slow down, share a moment of peace with someone we love, and look for the small ways we can care for the people and world around us. 

We are incredibly grateful to the organizations doing this work every day, to the Blue Lotus Chai team members who brought their stories forward, and to our chai community for helping us continue to support them. 

Carry a peaceful reminder with you

Introducing the Peace and Chai Tote

We wanted to create something special to commemorate this year’s Peace and Chai Month.

Our new Peace and Chai Tote was designed by local artist Bri Monohan and made locally by Threadbare in extremely limited quantities. Totes are available for $25, with each purchase directly supporting our ongoing Peace and Chai programming.

Carry a small reminder with you: Every Cup of Chai Makes a Difference. Peace and Chai.

This Peace & Chai Month, we invite you to start with your own moment of peace and let it ripple outward. Join us in supporting organizations caring for the people—and wildlife—in our community.
