Silver Journey – The Tasting Table

Duration: 2 Hours


Tea Masterclass


It starts, simply, with tasting. One bush, many teas – and this is where that stops being surprising and starts making sense.


We trace tea from its origins – the world's major regions, India's place on that map, Darjeeling to Sikkim – through to how one leaf becomes white, green, oolong, or black tea. Then, side by side, you taste your way through it: naming appearance, aroma, and flavour until a first flush and second flush are unmistakable by sight and touch alone – the floral lift of one against the fruitier, rounder body of the other.


You leave with a notes card to revisit it all, and an open invitation to wander our Tea Experience Centre, where 300+ varieties await your newly built vocabulary.




What's included?

• Welcome tea ritual.

• Tea masterclass – origins, processing & sensory profile.

• Guided tasting flight – 6 – 8 varieties of tea.

• Take-home tasting notes card.

• Tea Experience Centre tour – 300+ varieties of tea.

• ₹500 flat off on any purchase.


Price: Starting from ₹1,999 / person

Gold Journey – Tea & Gastronomy

Duration: 4 Hours


Tea Masterclass / Tea Gastronomy / Make Your Own Blend


If two hours only opens the door, four takes you further in. Tea & Gastronomy is our signature session – a tea masterclass, a food course built to match it, and an hour at the blending table where the tin you leave with is genuinely yours.


Welcomed with a traditional tea ritual, you move into a masterclass covering origin, process, types, and vocabulary, before the blending table: weigh leaves by hand, test ratios, adjust for a rounder body or a sharper top note, until what you've made tastes like nothing off a shelf – 75 grams, labelled, bottled, and yours to take home.


The evening closes at our tea room – India's only tea gastronomy kitchen, where tea finds its way into every dish. Settle into a High Tea, paired with tea-based beverages from our chef, then wander the Tea Experience Centre and its 300-odd varieties, putting your freshly sharpened palate to the test.



What's included?


• Welcome tea ritual.


• Tea masterclass – origins, processing & sensory profile.


• Expert-led tasting – 6 – 8 varieties of teas.


• Hands-on blending with a tea master.


• 75g personal blend – bottled, labelled & named.


• Tea Gastronomy – Curated food pairing / High Tea course.


• Tea Experience Centre tour.


• ₹500 flat off on any purchase.

Platinum Journey – A Night Amongst the Leaves

Duration: 1 Day & Overnight


Garden and factory tour/ Overnight stay/ Tea Masterclass/ Tea Gastronomy

Your journey begins at the gates of Okayti – one of Darjeeling's highest tea estates, spread across 11,000 acres in the hills of Mirik. Upon arrival, a welcome tea ritual sets the tone before you walk the gardens, watching pluckers at work – hand-plucking led by the estate's women, largely unchanged for over a century.


Follow that morning's leaf into the Okayti factory, among the oldest in India, and watch it move through withering, rolling, oxidation, and firing, the same four stages behind everything from a delicate white tea to a complex oolong. A guided tasting closes the morning, tying garden to cup.


After a garden-side lunch of Okayti's own seasonal produce, spend the afternoon walking past wild orchids, a hidden waterfall, and rare birdlife, ending at the estate's sunset point as the light turns gold over the hills.


As evening settles, check into the Okayti Guest House for a night unhurried by design: a bonfire, local folk music rooted in the estate's eight resident villages, a home-style dinner, and photographs in traditional local attire.


The next morning opens with sunrise tea, followed by a guided yoga session set against the pristine mountain air and the quiet of the surrounding gardens – a rare kind of stillness, found only this high in the hills. From there, you travel to the ChaiChun Experience Centre to close the loop – garden to cup – with our signature tea masterclass, a High Tea, and a final walk through 300+ varieties from around the world in our Tea Experience Center.

Tea Inspiration for Every Gathering

From intimate tea moments to festive celebrations, discover blends crafted to bring people together. 

Chai Chun Tea Room

However you choose to meet the leaf, every experience ends the same way – at a table, unhurried.


ChaiChun Tea Room is India's only concept restaurant built entirely around tea – not as a drink on the side, but as an ingredient in nearly everything on the plate. Our menus change with the seasons, and each dish carries a natural tea flavour worked into it, so the food doesn't just accompany the tea, it's elevated by it.


Expect a setting that leans premium and unhurried – a proper high-tea room – alongside tea mocktails, and hot and cold brews across our range, each one paired with a dish made to match. Book a seat for a High-Tea set, a lunch paired with garden teas, or an evening flight of tea-forward mocktails.
