The Person Behind The Cup
Founder, Ek Chaay · Linguistic Trainer at Knack IELTS · Audiologist
Mehanaz came to Kerala in 2020 and never looked back. She fell in love with its coastline, its warmth, its people — and she brought something precious with her: the bold, deeply-spiced memory of Andhra chai.
"Tea lovers of Kerala deserve this — every last sip of it."
As a multipreneur building worlds in both education and food, she saw what Kerala's tea culture was missing — not just a flavour, but a feeling. So she opened Ek Chaay on Calicut Beach: where two cultures pour into each other, one cup at a time.
