What started as one cart in Peradeniya is now a growing franchise. Here's how Chai Bhai became a daily habit.
2024
It started as a shared craving: proper chai, the way we drank it growing up. Months went into sourcing Ceylon leaves and grinding spice blends until one recipe finally tasted like home.
2025
The first Chai Bhai counter opened in Peradeniya. Students, families and night-shift workers turned a small roadside window into a queue that ran well past closing time on most nights of the week.
2026
A second location and our first franchise partners came on board, along with a mobile cart booked out for weddings and offices. Same leaves, same slow brew, just a lot more counters pouring it.
Whether you're opening a counter, planning an event or stocking your shelves, there's a way to work with us.
Territory, cart and full training from LKR 850,000. Break-even is typically inside seven months.
