Meet the maker

We worked with our friends at East Fork to create the perfect vessel for your chai: a limited-edition East Fork x Diaspora Co. Kulhad in Panna Cotta. In keeping with custom, these handleless cups feature a subtle taper in the form line and widen to a full rim. OG kulhads are an alternative to plastic cups at roadside chai stalls. Our version honors that tradition and celebrates both the legacy and future of chai sipping! East Fork designs, manufactures and sells contemporary ceramic dinnerware made by hand with regional materials and a lot of integrity in Asheville, North Carolina. We’re so excited to partner with a like-minded brand, also committed to growing together, in community. Our Chai Kit is the result of truly thoughtful sourcing across South Asia — every single element and ingredient spans states and countries, and each cup of chai is emblematic of South Asian agriculture excellence!

What is a Kulhad?

A Kulhad is a handle-less cup with a gentle taper that flares out at the rim. Traditionally, they’ve been the eco-friendly alternative to plastic cups at roadside chai stalls across India. Our version honors that history while bringing it into the present, made in collaboration with East Fork, a ceramic studio in Asheville, NC, known for their thoughtful, hand-crafted dinnerware.

What size is it?

Each Kulhad is 3 ⅛” wide x 3 ½” tall and holds about 8 oz to the brim, perfect for a steaming cup of chai or your golden milk latte!

Can I pop it in the dishwasher or microwave?

Absolutely! The Kulhad is both dishwasher and microwave safe.

Is it lead-free?

Yes, 100% lead-free and crafted with regional, safe materials.

What’s it made from?

It's made from100% lead free stoneware made from regional materials (to Asheville, NC).

Does it have a glaze?

Yes, each piece is fully glazed for durability and a smooth finish.

Will it be restocked if it sells out?

This is a super limited-edition collaboration. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, so don’t wait too long to grab yours.

How do I care for it so it lasts?

Your Kulhad is durable, but like all pottery, it can break if handled roughly. Treat it as you would any favorite mug, wash, sip, enjoy! With a little mindfulness, it’ll be with you for many chai breaks to come.
