In India, a huge chunk of people kick-start their day with a sip of tea and can't imagine their morning without it. Apart from being regarded as a source of living & refreshing drink and household tradition, this hot drink is considered as an excuse for discussions and a part of gossip culture & political campaigns. The beverage that originated from China and become a vital part of India's life is now inseparable from the socio-cultural and socio-economy of our country. Many new-age entrepreneurs acknowledge this and have taken a lead in giving the traditional tea a bold and contemporary makeover; Rajeev Baid (Founder & CMD, Chai Chun) is one among them.

Started his professional journey from working at railway station and tea factory, Rajeev today owns Chai Chun ­- India's first segmented tea boutique along with five tea factories (producing 13 million Kg tea/year) and established himself as an iconic visionary in the tea industry. Under his guidance, the company has evolved as an integral part of the Indian tea industry and began to achieve newer prospects like supplying tea to top companies, renowned cafes, and white labels, to startups, websites and cafes. In the period of just 15 years, Rajeev has revolutionized the whole tea trade by strengthening the connection between the people who grow tea and people who drink the final blend, while bridging the journey of quality tea leaves from farm to refreshing cup of tea.

unique tongue rousing experiences. Today, Chai Chun stands as one-stop-shop for tea lovers that endeavor to serve the right beverages to right age people with an elite quality. "Today, major brands have limited varieties of tea but we offer almost all types of tea under one umbrella, where all our teas are available in at least 10 sub variants. Our most popular teas are Darjeeling, Green and CTC," professes Rajeev.

Since tea as a whole holds high shelf life, in-house connoisseurs never stop experimenting and developing flavors that amaze taste buds. Unlike other players, sourcing products from producers and blending them with different gardens in a span of six months, Chai Chun outshines the spectrum with procuring tea directly from the garden, storing them in its temperature controlled warehouse, packing & labelling them (vacuum seal) according to consumer requirements and delivering them within five days. Further enhancing consumer experience, Chai Chun maintains internal SOP indicating the maximum tea sold and which tea need to be purchased at what time interval. Thanks to its vacuum seal packing and big logistic partnership that help the company to furnish a fresh cup of tea to its consumers at shorter time frame.
