Chechi, meaning elder sister in Malayalam, symbolizes the heart and soul of our business. Our journey is rooted in the love for chai that transcends generations, the rich love of family and friends, and a South Indian heritage that can be traced all the way back to Kerala, India. Our journey began with a passion for bringing people together through the simple joy of chai. There are generations of experiences, stories, and traditions that are woven into the fabric of the Indian culture that we hope to share with our community as we deliver an authentic chai experience to Nashville and across the nation.

What sets us apart from the chai you’re so used to drinking? Indian Chai is made from freshly ground spices and is prepared with time and intentionality. In a world looking for the next fastest option, we believe that there is value hidden deep within the investment of time.
