our roots, our ritual
Our Chai Story
A name carried by memories.
Paper Kite Chai takes its name from Uttarayan, India's beloved kite festival — a celebration filled with vibrant colors, community, food and drink.
For our founder's father, the festival meant spirited kite fights and time with friends over homemade masala chai. Those memories of joy and togetherness are at the heart of Paper Kite.
more than a cup
The spirit of Indian street chai.
Our mission is to bring the authentic, vibrant experience of Indian street chai to you. Handcrafted blends, freshly brewed chai and a chance to pause and connect.
From a live chai station at your celebration to a cup at our North Brunswick cafe, we're here to share that same warmth.
Meet us at the cafe
A lifetime of love & chai.
