Now, sip your 'Meri wali chai' in train

As tea business is getting healthier with new investments doing ground, tea chain café Chaayos has partnered with IRCTC to make the journey more exciting with customized and choicest flavours.  

“The partnership with IRCTC would be a great chance for people to get their favourite cup of tea even while travelling in trains,” shared Raghav Verma, Co-Founder, Chaayos.

The tea café has developed an innovative method to deliver tea with their disposable kettles which consist of a heat retaining pouch and an outer cardboard packaging, to ensure that the tea delivered stays hot for an hour. Initially, the collaboration is for all trains at New Delhi station, and will soon be extended to other stations across Delhi and Mumbai.

Passengers will have to order their tea two hours before the arrival, which can be made on www.ecatering.irctc.co.in or calling a toll-free number (1800-1034-139). IRCTC has also launched a mobile app through which orders can be placed. Chaayos, which has 20 cafes in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, is also planning to open 40 cafes in four major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru amongst others. The tea chain is also offering cash back offers on e-caterings with a value of more than Rs 300 in a single order.
