Our story
Rooted in a Kolkata lane
We started with a single kettle and a simple idea: make the everyday cup of chai with care, and serve it in a way that respects the city's old habits.

Tea room · Kolkata
Tea poured slowly, in cups made of earth.
Mitti & Leaf is a small neighbourhood tea room. We brew chai over a low flame, serve it in clay kulhars and fry our snacks to order.
- Masala chai
- Lebu cha
- Darjeeling
- Ginger tulsi
- Singara
- Jalebi
- Mishti doi
Why people stop by
A cup of chai should feel like a pause, not a purchase.
We keep the menu short so every cup gets attention. Leaves come from tea gardens in North Bengal, milk comes in fresh each morning, and the kulhars are made by potters in the city.

01Kulhar chai
Chai served in unglazed clay cups. The clay adds a faint earthy note, and each cup is used once.
02Snacks fried to order
Singara, chop and jhal muri, made in small batches through the day so nothing sits waiting.
03Room to sit
Wooden benches, ceiling fans and no rush. Stay for one cup or three.
