Cha's Organics

The site presents the company as founded in 2006 by Chanaka and Marise, gives a single Saint-Laurent, Quebec address, and names no investor or parent. The CANADA List records the owner as Cha's Organics Inc. of Canada, which corroborates but does not verify. Corporations Canada returns zero results for the name, so this is most likely a Quebec provincial corporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Québec could not be reached this session.

The Masala Chai page says the black tea and spices are all grown and harvested by small-scale producers in Sri Lanka and lists Sri Lanka as the country of origin. The site never says where the blend is packed; the CANADA List notes that the brand's peppercorns are packed or prepared in Canada, so the 0.2 Canadian share is an estimate for possible Montreal packing rather than a published figure.

Every ingredient in the tea, organic black tea plus true cinnamon, cardamom, clove, black pepper and ginger, is stated to come from Sri Lanka, and the fair trade page describes the producers who grow the company's spices, coconuts and tea in Sri Lanka. The 0.1 Canadian share is an estimate for packaging and the Shopify storefront, which is Canadian-run.
