Story
In 2017 Chaiom started with an idea to depict the Omnist behavior of Chai. The journey of this tea venture by the daughter of Darjeeling started since she believed that she is definitely bitten by the tea bug in her early life but while traveling across the globe she realized that Darjeeling tea has a different taste than most the tea available in the countries she visited.
The idea to be a tea-preneur began with Payalh’s journey from Europe, the smile and glitter in the eyes of the tea drinkers for Darjeeling Tea consolidate her thought that internationally, Tea is not just a mere commodity but rather it’s a lifestyle. After returning back, backed by her experiences, and massive research she decided to disrupt the traditional tea industry. And now “ChaiOm” came to life. OM is present in all our trademarks, as the Team is OMNIST in character. Alongside, her restaurant and hotel business, she started working in a tea factory to gain more insight & learn the experiences. With the growing business, ChaiOM shifted from Siliguri to New Delhi to fulfill the vision of the founder to create a healthy lifestyle for society and change the perception of people towards tea in our country.
