Vision

Chavamade’s vision is to see lives and communities renewed at the table of Christ — where women, families, and neighbors gather to draw deeply from Scripture, be refreshed by the Spirit, and overflow with the truth, love, and peace of God. We long to see homes and tables become places of authentic fellowship, prayer, and unity beyond denominational lines, bringing the family of God together in every community and across this nation.

Mission

Our mission is to use the simple, sacred rhythm and invitation of tea to draw people closer to God and to one another. Through Scripture-rooted blends, books, and gatherings, Chavamade creates spaces where believers and seekers can sit at the same table—like the early church in Acts 2—becoming places of prayer, deep conversation, authentic fellowship, and healing, uniting the family of God beyond denominations and drawing all people toward the love of Christ.

Looking ahead, we seek to spark a nationwide movement of giving life around the table. As our forefathers once used tea to declare freedom from an oppressive, earthly king, we aim to use tea to declare freedom from the enemy of division and brokenness—calling America back to unity, hospitality, and Christ-centered community, one home at a time.

The Beginning

Chavamade began in 2016, just a few months after the birth of my first son. As I navigated the challenges of postpartum depression in addition to my husband being gone often for Navy duty, I found solace in learning watercolor painting. What started as a personal journey soon blossomed into something more—I ventured into craft shows, gaining confidence, connections, and new skills along the way. Slowly, Chavamade was born.

The name "Chavamade" holds special meaning for me. While I go by my middle name, Kuhiwa, its pronunciation (Koo-HEE-va) often led people to shorten it to "Eve." Around that time, I met my husband, Adam, and the nickname stuck. This serendipitous connection to the biblical Eve who witnessed God's creativity firsthand, inspired me to embrace the Hebrew spelling of the name "Chava," and the meaning "mother of life." As a new mother finding life in creativity and sharing life with others, it felt fitting to name my shop "Chavamade."

Early on, I refurbished a vintage Shasta camper to serve as a mobile studio and a cozy space for my toddler during craft shows. This little camper, along with my growing brand, was even featured in a couple of magazines. Through Chavamade, I found life and purpose again, creating not just products but connections and community.

As the demands of raising more children, doing ministry, and supporting my husband as a military wife grew, I eventually had to pause Chavamade. But the desire to create, connect and pour into women never left me. Over the years, I felt a pull to revive Chavamade, though I struggled to find the right direction. It wasn’t until the Lord’s gentle nudging, confirmed by the encouragement of dear friends, that I decided to relaunch Chavamade.

Now, Chavamade has been reborn, better than I ever imagined and this time pulling from years of studying botanicals and ministering to women over countless cups of tea. God has used this brand twice in my life to breathe life back into me, as I try to pour life into the women I encounter through this venue. Chavamade is more than a business—it’s a ministry where I’ve had the joy of forming lasting connections, praying with mothers in various stages of life, praying for and giving to countless foster children, and being exactly where I believe God wants me. 

So I welcome you to my shop, but most importantly, I welcome you as a mother and as a friend! And I invite you to the Shepherd's table as you taste and see that His words are sweeter than honey as you long after Him with a cup of Chavamade tea and go forth to give life to others.
