The house
Lucky Tea Depot began in 1975, when Manoharlal K Lakhi opened a small tea shop on Prenderghast Road in Secunderabad; by the shop's own account it has traded from the present address, 1-8-144/2, since 1980. What started as a neighbourhood supplier grew into a branded range without ever leaving the street. Ravi M Lakhi joined in 2006 and took the Lakhi's packets to homes across India through the online shop, with one rule the house repeats on every page: natural ingredients or natural flavours only, no artificial flavours, colours or essence.
The list is Assam first and everything else after. The black teas are chai patti sold in 250 g pouches with 200 g gift tins and 500 g refills: Ruhani Chai, a high-grown Assam, a Broken Leaf, and the spiced ones, Masala with ginger, cardamom and cinnamon, Kesar Elaichi with saffron, Ginger, Vanilla Elaichi. The green teas are a super fine grade from Assam in 100 g pouches, plain or with tulsi, lemon, cinnamon or a nine-spice kahwa. The infusions come in 50 g jars: chamomile flowers, butterfly pea flowers, rose petals with green tea.
The shop opens Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 20:30 and closes on Sunday, at the Arya Vysya Abhyudaya Sangam Kalyana Mandapam building on Prenderghast Road, postcode 500003. Online orders ship pan-India from Hyderabad with free delivery. The site's brewing notes are short and practical, a rolling boil for the black teas and 80 °C for the green, two to three minutes for black and five to seven for the herbal jars, which is as much ceremony as a chai depot needs.

Ginger, cardamom and cinnamon ground in house into the Assam, which is the Hyderabad milk chai in one packet, and the reason people order it from abroad by the reviews the shop posts.

Explore this tea →03 · Green tea
A plain super fine grade green tea from Assam rather than the usual flavoured pouch, in 100 g, and the cheapest green leaf with a shop address on the Hyderabad page.

The one worth the trip
A nine-spice kahwa on the house's own Assam green tea, sold in a 100 g jar, which is the shop's one departure from the milk pot and the thing worth carrying home from Secunderabad: the Kashmiri cup made by a family that has blended Assam on the same street since 1975.
