Reimagining The
Indian Adda
Founded on friendship, fueled by hand-brewed tea, and committed to returning to our roots.
More Than Just A Cup.
A Shared Connection.
In 2023, we looked at the humble street tea stall—the place where deals are struck, friendships are cemented, and ideas are born. We noticed a gap: the streets lacked hygiene and standard quality, while premium cafes lacked the soul, warmth, and accessibility of a true neighborhood 'Adda'.
Under AFBR Ventures Private Limited, ChaiMitra was created to marry the two. We wanted to preserve the smoky, mineral-rich taste of hand-brewed kulhad chai while ensuring top-notch food hygiene, cozy air-conditioned seating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and affordable pricing.
Instead of focusing on tier-1 metropolitan cities, we made a conscious choice to bring this premium cafe experience to the heart of tier-2 and tier-3 communities in Eastern UP, starting with our very first outlet in Padrauna, and expanding into Kasia, Gorakhpur, and Basti.

The Alchemy of the
Perfect Sip
We stand on five foundational pillars that ensure every visit to ChaiMitra is memorable, authentic, and consistent.
Earth (Kulhad Heritage)
Every sip begins in a return to the roots. We use 100% biodegradable clay kulhads sourced from local potters in Eastern UP. They add an organic, smoky aroma that machine-made cups can never replicate.
Leaf (Assam Origin)
Hand-picked at peak maturity from the sun-kissed estates of Upper Assam. Our leaves produce a robust, full-bodied liquor that serves as the perfect canvas for our rich milk blends.
Secret (Signature Spice)
A proprietary blend of seven whole spices, ground in small batches to preserve their essential oils. This provides a warm, spicy kick that stays with you long after the final sip.
Craft (Slow Simmer)
Good things take time. Our farm-fresh milk is slow-simmered in small brass pots, allowing the tea, spices, and sweetness to bind in a smooth, velvety texture.
The Adda (Community Hub)
We are reclaiming the traditional neighborhood tea stall. Our cafes offer fully air-conditioned spaces, power sockets, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a warm, inviting environment.

The Birth of ChaiMitra
Padrauna - The First Outlet
ChaiMitra was born out of a simple dream: to standardize and elevate the Indian street tea experience without losing its warm, community-driven soul. We launched our very first location on Ramkola Road in Padrauna, Kushinagar. Serving authentic tea in clay kulhads, it quickly became the neighborhood's favorite local hangout spot.
Highway Expansion
Kasia Outlet Launch
Taking our mission to traveler networks, we launched the Kasia Outlet along the Kasia-Gorakhpur highway near Kushinagar. Designed as a spacious rest-stop highway lounge, it introduced our signature brews and fresh snacks to a broader commuting audience.
Flagship High-Street Presence
Gorakhpur Flagship Cafe
To establish a robust premium presence, we launched our flagship outlet in Baldev Plaza, Golghar, Gorakhpur. Complete with a spacious, air-conditioned lounge, high-speed Wi-Fi, and premium dining amenities, it redefined the 'Adda' culture for professionals, students, and families alike.
Venturing into Shopping Malls
Basti Outlet & Incorporation
To fuel our rapid expansion, we officially incorporated under AFBR Ventures Private Limited. Shortly after, in July 2025, we brought our warm kulhad vibes into a modern retail layout with our outlet inside Crescent Mall, Basti. This proved that our traditional tea moments fit perfectly in high-end lifestyle complexes.
100K+ Mitras and Counting
Expanding Our Horizons
Having served over 100,000 satisfied customers across Eastern UP, ChaiMitra is ready to bring authentic, hand-brewed kulhad chai and premium bites to tea lovers nationwide, while continuing to support local potter families.
Empowering the Hands That
Shape the Earth
In a world dominated by plastics and synthetic cups, we choose the soil. By serving our beverages exclusively in traditional clay kulhads, ChaiMitra directly supports over 25 potter families (Kumhars) in rural Eastern UP.
Every single kulhad is handcrafted, sun-baked, and fired in traditional kilns. This not only preserves a centuries-old heritage but also creates a local micro-economy, providing regular income to rural artisans. And once you enjoy your tea, these cups dissolve back into the earth, completing a perfect, zero-waste loop.
