The Hudson Valley company makes its blends in small batches with natural ingredients, avoiding refined sugar and artificial colors and flavors, while third-party testing supports their purity. Chikka Chikka grew from Sabeen’s homemade fennel-seed habit and the couple’s earlier transformation of an abandoned biker bar into a community restaurant.WALLKILL, NY
