Our Rich History
A Legacy Brewed in Every Cup
Chai Petals' story is a fragrant journey spanning decades, driven by passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of the perfect cup of tea. It all started in 1983 in the heart of Kolar, with a dedicated tea enthusiast named Nayaz Pasha.
Nayaz's journey began modestly, with a tea stall in the bustling streets of Kumbarapet. He brewed comforting cups of warmth for the locals before moving to the bustling Sharda Talkies Road in 1986. However, Nayaz had a larger vision: to create a tea experience that went beyond the ordinary.
The path to perfection was not without challenges. Nayaz spent countless hours experimenting with different tea leaf combinations, meticulously exploring flavor nuances and mastering the delicate balance between local palates, milk preferences, and water quality. His unwavering dedication resulted in a breakthrough in 1994, inside the walls of his own hotel in Kolar. He discovered a unique tea powder that not only tantalized the taste buds but also perfectly complemented regional preferences. This watershed moment signaled the birth of something truly remarkable.
What started as a simple tea powder quickly evolved into a beloved haven for tea enthusiasts. By 1996, Nayaz's Tea Powder had spread like wildfire, appearing on the menus of approximately 15 of Kolar's most renowned tea stalls, each praising the distinctive flavor. The recognition grew steadily, enthralling not only customers but also his entire family by 1998. Every cup served was a testament to his unwavering dedication, a work of art created with care and passion, and a love gesture.
Recognizing the opportunity for growth and eager to pass down his legacy, Nayaz introduced his eldest son, Suhail Ahmed, to the intricate world of tea blending in 2010. Suhail seized the opportunity, delving deeply into the craft and devising novel ways to improve existing blends and introduce new flavors. He meticulously interacted with customers, valuing their feedback and preferences. By 2022, Nayaz's Tea Powder had become a household name in over 30 hotels, several communities, and countless families. Mr. Nayaz watched with great pride as his legacy flourished under Suhail's capable leadership.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nayaz's second son, Sameer Ahmed, pursued his own path, excelling academically and earning an MBA. Sameer had over five years of experience in the e-commerce and FMCG industries, giving him a distinct business acumen. Nayaz, recognizing each son's unique strengths, encouraged Sameer to contribute his knowledge to the family tea business.
In 2023, Sameer Ahmed hoped to elevate the beloved family business into a well-known brand not only in Kolar, but throughout India and around the world. He believed that the rich heritage and distinctive tea blends deserved a larger platform. Sameer set out on a transformative journey, rebranding the tea powder manufacturing company. He worked with designers to develop a unique logo that captured the essence of the family's tea legacy. The brand underwent a modern makeover while maintaining its warm and inviting atmosphere. Critically, Sameer implemented eco-friendly packaging, aligning the brand with sustainable practices that resonate strongly with today's changing consumer mindset.
Chai Petals was born as a modern incarnation of a timeless legacy, ready to share its extraordinary flavor with the world, one sustainable cup at a time.
