THE KAPEMAI STORY
You know what? Quitting our jobs wasn’t exactly on our 2025 bingo card.
But guess what? We did it anyway.
Why? All because of you.
You’re the reason we’re out here; self-employed (jobless) but vibing, because you weren’t getting the tea you deserve.
And let’s be real: you deserve tea that slaps. Tasty, high-quality, no-BS.
So, two brothers walked into a kitchen (our kitchen), made our fourth cup of chai for the day, looked at each other and said:
“This ain’t it, chief.”
And that’s how Kapemai started.
We’re Choro and Kholi tea fiends, besties, brothers. While Kholi is the high-energy guy with a million ideas running through his head every minute. Choro’s the chill guy with a tea obsession so real, he literally turned it into an identity (@chaipibeta, go look).
Whether it's surviving IIM, or arguing (daily) about who brews the better chai (spoiler! It’s still under review), we always have each other’s back.
Anyway, back to the tea.
Once we realized the tea we were sipping didn’t spark joy, we did what anyone would do;
we packed our bags, went back to the hills, and got to work.
We hit up the tea gardens, talked to OG tea masters, and drank tea (A LOT OF IT), and slowly, sip by sip, Kapemai came to life.
Kapemai is not just about tea. It’s about finding home again. About turning comfort into a cup.
And speaking of comfort, did you notice our cute mascot? That’s Kiba. He was our dog, our emotional support floof, our unofficial CEO. After he passed, we knew he had to live on through Kapemai. Now, his little tail and face are on every pack as a reminder of loyalty, warmth, and that soft feeling you get when something feels just right.
So, yeah. Kapemai is more than just tea.
It’s our story in a cup. A little chaotic, a little nostalgic, and a whole lot of love.
Now the only thing missing? You sipping it.
