In 2024, Desi Chai was born with a simple dream — to serve the real taste of Indian chai, made affordable and authentic for everyone. What started as a humble idea soon transformed into a revolution in the world of tea.Unlike any other brand, Desi Chai crafted its own identity through a unique blend made from seven carefully selected tea grades — a combination that delivers the perfect balance of aroma, strength, and flavor in every sip. This signature blend quickly became the heart of the brand, setting it apart from all others.In just 18 months, the love for Desi Chai spread far and wide. From busy cities to small towns, from highways to local corners, the brand proudly established its presence across 8 states with over 200 outlets — and still growing.Every cup tells the same story — of passion, purity, and the joy of sharing an asli chai moment that connects people across India.
