TEA CAFE PROJECT REPORT

India is renowned for Tea, the milk-infused, sweet-spicy drink that has gained immense global popularity over the years. No matter where one belongs to in India, they probably are not very far from a Chai Stall, little roadside shacks that go by different names in different parts of the country. While Masala Chai is perhaps the most loved and widely consumed form of Indian tea, there’s no end to the variations available. In fact, different parts of the country are known for their unique brews, with some of the most popular options being Mumbai’s Cutting Chai, the rich Irani Chai of Hyderabad, and the delicate pink Kashmiri Chai. Tea sold at these humble outlets is often the cheapest and most delicious, the ideal refreshment in every kind of weather. Most Chai Stalls like Cafés, are also nooks for socialization, where people of all ages and backgrounds can be found discussing almost anything, be it the latest news, politics, sports, personal dilemmas or even just the weather. Stepping out into the street with Office colleagues to share a milky tea with a hint of spices such as ginger or cardamom is an Indian office ritual. These stalls, carts and shops are vital hang-outs of office-goers who come to take a break, gossip about their bosses or discuss personal lives. Even at homes, Chai is the ultimate conversation starter, served to anyone who visits. Tea is so popular that it is not just a word or beverage but it is an emotion for Indians; an emotion famous as “Chai” in the daily lives. Therefore, every time is Tea time and Mornings in India are incomplete without a cup of Tea. Most people have at least two cups a day, once with breakfast and again in the late afternoon, much like the British.

By considering the popularity of the Tea, Not only Tea Shop is a great business venture for metropolitan cities, but even smaller cities and small towns are also a great platform to invest in. In urban areas, the demand for Tea Cafe has increased in the recent past. Likewise, Tier II and Tier III cities have also shown similar demand as metro cities based on the certain area and population density. The Tea Cafe business is easy to start for the women entrepreneurs as well who wants to become financially independent. However, the business demands hard work, direct customer interaction and long working hours.
