In 1975, Manoharlal K Lakhi started something small — a modest tea powder shop in Secunderabad, built on one simple belief: that a good cup of chai can change the mood of an entire household.
What began as a neighbourhood tea supplier slowly grew into something much larger. Cafes and restaurants across Hyderabad started sourcing from Lucky Tea Depot for one reason — consistency. The tea was always good. The aroma was always right. The trust never broke.
In 1980, the Prenderghast Road retail store opened its doors — and has never closed since. Over 50 years later, it remains the only Lucky Tea Depot physical store. Not because expansion wasn't possible, but because quality was always more important than quantity.
In 2006, Ravi M Lakhi joined his father and introduced the Lakhi's branded range — taking decades of tea knowledge and bottling it for households across India. Every product in the Lakhi's range carries one non-negotiable promise: natural ingredients only. No artificial flavours. No essence. Just real tea, real spices, real taste.
You are holding one of those products right now. Here is the complete Lakhi's family — and the story behind each one.
The Lakhi's Range — Premium Indian Teas, Naturally Crafted
1. Lakhi's Masala Chai
The one that started it all for most of our customers. Lakhi's Masala Chai is built on a bold Assam CTC base and blended with seven real spices — cardamom, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, nutmeg, and black pepper. No premix shortcuts, no artificial masala essence. Just the real thing, the way chai was always meant to be. If you want one tea that does everything — morning energy, evening comfort, chai for guests — this is it.
2. Lakhi's Kesar Elaichi Chai
There is something about saffron and cardamom together that feels like a celebration. Lakhi's Kesar Elaichi Chai blends premium Assam CTC tea with real saffron strands and green cardamom — creating a cup that is fragrant, smooth, and unmistakably special. Our most gifted tea, and for good reason. Perfect for festive mornings, evenings with family, or anytime you want your chai to feel a little extraordinary.
3. Lakhi's Ginger Tea
Bold Assam tea meets fiery natural ginger — and the result is exactly what you need on a cold morning or a slow afternoon. Lakhi's Ginger Tea uses real ginger, not ginger flavouring, giving you that sharp, warming kick that genuinely clears your head and soothes your throat. A favourite with people who take their chai seriously.
4. Lakhi's Broken Leaf Assam Tea
Our flagship. The product that carried the Lakhi's name for decades before any other variant existed. Lakhi's Broken Leaf is pure Assam BOP — Broken Orange Pekoe — tea that brews a rich, golden-amber cup with a strong, malty flavour and a satisfying strength that CTC dust simply cannot match. If you are a true chai lover who knows the difference between good tea and great tea, this is your cup.
5. Lakhi's Ruhani Chai
Ruhani means spiritual, and this chai earns that name. A premium blend of Assam BP and BOPSM grade teas, Lakhi's Ruhani Chai has a depth and body that feels almost meditative. Strong enough to wake you up, smooth enough to slow you down. For those quiet moments when you want your chai to match the mood.
6. Lakhi's Green Tea
Clean, light, and genuinely healthy. Lakhi's Green Tea is made from Super Fine Grade green tea leaves — no flavouring agents, no additives, nothing artificial. Just pure green tea with a gentle, fresh taste that works as a morning ritual, a post-meal digestive, or an evening wind-down. One of the cleanest green teas available online in India.
7. Lakhi's Green Tea with Cinnamon
For those who find plain green tea a little flat, this one adds warmth without overpowering. Natural cinnamon and Super Fine green tea leaves come together in a cup that is simultaneously calming and gently spiced. Steep for 2 minutes in hot — not boiling — water and let the aroma do the rest.
8. Lakhi's Green Tea with Lemon
Bright, refreshing, and naturally flavoured with real lemon. Lakhi's Green Tea with Lemon is a clean, citrusy cup that works brilliantly as a mid-morning refresh or after a heavy meal. No artificial lemon essence — just green tea and the real thing.
9. Lakhi's Green Tea with Lemon and Ginger
Two of nature's best flavours combined in one cup. The sharpness of ginger and the brightness of lemon balance each other perfectly against a light green tea base. This is the immunity-supporting, energy-lifting cup that genuinely tastes good enough to drink every single day.
10. Lakhi's Green Tea with Tulsi
Tulsi — holy basil — has been part of Indian wellness traditions for centuries. Combined with our Super Fine green tea, it creates a cup that is earthy, aromatic, and deeply calming. Best in the evenings when you want to slow the day down naturally.
11. Lakhi's Green Tea with Fusion of Kahwa
Inspired by the traditional Kashmiri Kahwa, this blend combines green tea with warming spices in a fusion that is both exotic and comforting. Rich in antioxidants and naturally flavoured, it is a unique cup that stands apart from anything else in our range.
12. Lakhi's Rose Green Tea
Delicate rose and clean green tea — a combination that is as beautiful to smell as it is to drink. Lakhi's Rose Green Tea uses natural rose flavour and is completely free of artificial essence. A favourite among customers who want something a little more refined in their daily tea ritual.
13. Lakhi's Vanilla Elaichi Chai
The warmth of cardamom meeting the softness of vanilla — this is comfort in a cup. Lakhi's Vanilla Elaichi Chai is naturally flavoured and brews into a smooth, gently sweet cup that feels indulgent without being heavy. Perfect with an evening snack or for anyone who wants something a little different from the everyday masala chai.
14. Lakhi's Chamomile Dried Flowers
Pure chamomile, nothing else. Our dried chamomile flowers brew into a light, honey-golden cup with a gentle floral flavour and a natural calming effect. No tea base, no additives — just chamomile as nature intended. The ideal bedtime drink for those who struggle to wind down.
15. Lakhi's Butterfly Pea Flowers
One of the most visually stunning teas you will ever brew. Lakhi's Butterfly Pea Flowers create a deep blue cup that turns purple when you add lemon — a natural colour change caused by the flower's pH-sensitive pigments. Beyond the magic, it is rich in antioxidants and completely caffeine-free. A conversation starter and a genuinely healthy drink in one.
Why Lakhi's is Different
In a market flooded with artificially flavoured teas and mass-produced blends, Lakhi's has held one position for over 50 years — natural ingredients only. Every flavoured tea in our range uses real spices, real flowers, real ingredients. We do not use artificial flavours or essence. Ever.
This is not a marketing claim. It is a 50-year-old family promise.
