Our Story

A Cup Made With Care, Every Single Time

Inside Chai & Co. tea house — warm, curated interior at Anna Salai, Teynampet, Chennai
Artisan tea preparation — handcrafted brewing at Chai & Co., Chennai
Est. 2019

Every leaf we use is sourced directly from small-batch gardens in Assam, Darjeeling, and the Nilgiris.

We visit our growers. We know their names. That relationship is the foundation of every cup we brew.

Our craft begins before the kettle.

In the selection, the blending, the timing — each tea is prepared at its ideal temperature and steeping time, because shortcuts don't belong in a good cup of chai.

Chai & Co. was born from a simple belief:

that a tea shop can be a sanctuary. A place where the city slows down, strangers become regulars, and regulars become family.

Our Journey

2019
The First Cup

Chai & Co. opened its doors with just six tables, one clay pot, and a dream brewed overnight.

2021
Root to Cup

We forged direct partnerships with estate growers in Assam and the Nilgiris — cutting out every middleman.

2023
National Recognition

Featured in Condé Nast Traveller's 'Best Specialty Tea Houses in India' — an honour we wear humbly.

2025
Expanding the Ritual

Second location opened in Indiranagar. Same soul, same standards, now closer to you.
