Our Story

Born in the Heart of Pune

Where village roots meet urban wellness — Gavti Chaha is more than tea; it's a movement.

The Beginning

Rooted in Maharashtra's Village Traditions

Gavti Chaha was born from a simple yet powerful vision — to bring the ancient goodness of Maharashtra's lemongrass fields right into the hearts of Pune's busy streets. Our founders grew up watching grandmothers brew fresh lemongrass picked at dawn, a ritual passed through generations across rural Maharashtra.

The lemongrass we source grows in the rich red soil of the Sahyadri foothills — sun-drenched, rain-fed, untouched by synthetic chemicals. Every leaf is handpicked by local farmers who have tended these fields for decades, preserving knowledge that no factory can replicate.

What started as a small outlet in Pune has grown into a franchise movement that carries the spirit of the village into every cup — making pure, healing, flavourful tea accessible to every urban Indian without compromising on authenticity.

The Name

About Gavti Chaha

"In every cup of Gavti Chaha, the fresh fragrance of lemongrass carries you to the green fields and tranquil mornings of Maharashtra."

"Gavti" is the Marathi name for lemongrass, a naturally aromatic herb treasured for its refreshing flavor, soothing aroma, and wellness benefits. For generations, it has been an integral part of Maharashtrian households, enjoyed for both its distinctive taste and traditional goodness.

At Gavti Chaha, we honor this heritage by carefully sourcing quality lemongrass and crafting our tea with care, preserving the authentic flavors and warmth that make it a timeless favorite. Every cup is a celebration of nature, tradition, and the rich tea culture of Maharashtra.
