Introducing Alt-Cha... 

Designed not as a clinical supplement, but as a simple chai alternative for kids. It allows your child to pull up a chair and share the evening break completely with you.

  • Reset: They put down their works, sit at the family table, and let the chaos of the day melt into a calm baseline.

  • Refresh: They breathe in a low caffeine, low tannin blend infused with real spices and traditional warmth, giving their senses a natural, comforting clarity.

  • Restart: Once the cup is empty, their system is primed. They don’t step back into their evening sluggish or overstimulated—they restart their schedule with focused energy.

Made from a roasted cereal mix of oats and amaranth, with jaggery, real milk solids, natural cocoa, and a warm spice blend of turmeric, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom — Alt-Cha brews exactly like chai: with hot milk or water, steeped and poured.

We sweeten Alt-Cha honestly — with jaggery and a modest amount of sugar. No artificial sweeteners, no fortification claims, no ingredients that you can't pronounce. What's printed on the pack is exactly what's inside the cup — nothing more, nothing hidden.

Because a child who watches her parents hold a pausing cup with their hands deserves her own starting point.


" Traditional tea and coffee contains high amounts of caffeine and tannins, which are not suitable for growing children. High tannins interfere with body's ability to absorb iron, disrupt digestion and can irritate sensitive stomachs, whereas high caffeine can lead to insomnia, and anxiety in children due to overstimulation. High caffeine and tannins are also known to lead towards addiction "

"Alt-Cha avoids high caffeine and tannin sources, and is more suitable for growing kids"

Hot Relaxing Tea Cup


The Indian child of today runs a schedule that would exhaust most adults. School by 7:30am. Tuition by 4pm. Swimming or badminton or bharatanatyam by 6pm. Homework after dinner.


They are tested, timed, coached, and evaluated — from the moment they wake to the moment the lights go off. They carry ambition that belongs to the whole family, not just themselves.

Day full of schedule



And yet — we have not given them a regular pause. A ritual that is warm, unhurried, and entirely theirs. A moment that says: you don't have to perform right now. Just sit. Just sip. Alt-Cha is that moment

Moms Always Knew…

Mothers have an unspoken instinct. Long before they look at a nutritional label, they know that the heavy, adult world of traditional tea and coffee isn’t meant for growing children. So, they gracefully kept those mugs out of reach.

Science simply caught up to what mothers always felt: caffeine and harsh tannins disrupt the natural baseline of a child’s development. Caffeine speeds up systems that need steady growth, while tannins quietly interfere with how young bodies absorb iron.

Protecting them from the tea or coffee was the easy choice. But in doing so, we accidentally left a gap in the day. We withheld the chemical, but we inadvertently also withheld the moment.

The evening transition is loud... 

Adults have long relied on the quiet comfort of a warm cup to anchor themselves. Children face busy, stressful schedules of their own, yet we expect them to transition seamlessly from books to play to homework without a pause.

Children didn't just need something to drink. They needed a ritual. 

Mindful reset

Develop a ritual...

A ritual requires repetition to become an anchor. Alternating randomly between a cold juice box, a quick glass of milk, or a sugary syrup doesn't give a child a predictable harbor. It just passes the time.

What they always deserved was a true chai alternative—a warm, spiced, dedicated cup of their own.
