Exploring India’s Tea Heritage

ChaiNation is a digital journey through the diverse world of Indian tea. From the misty slopes of Darjeeling to the spice-laden streets of Delhi, tea is not just a drink here — it’s a cultural heartbeat.

Our mission is to document, share, and celebrate the traditions, rituals, and stories behind every cup. We dive into the history of tea cultivation, explore regional brewing styles, and uncover the social role tea plays in daily life across India.

Whether you’re curious about Assam’s bold black teas, intrigued by the vibrant flavors of masala chai, or fascinated by the tales of ancient trade routes, ChaiNation offers an ever-growing collection of articles, images, and personal stories.

Indian tea culture is as vast as the country itself. Every region, every community, and every chaiwallah has a unique approach to brewing and serving tea.
