Chai Vending Machines Ready to Launch

Chai Vending Machines Ready to Launch
08 July 2025
 

A London-based startup is looking to bring new hot drink options to workplaces with the launch of its new chai vending machine.

Chai GPTea offers seven chai blends through a touchscreen-based vending machine, delivering a hot drink in under 60 seconds.

Flavours include Masala Chai Latte, Saffron Chai and Matcha Chai. The blends contain no preservatives, artificial colours, or added sweeteners, and no allergens other than lactose.

Founder of Chai GPTea, Sandeep Heda, hopes to launch the machine in workplaces, co-working hubs, and high-traffic locations in London. He said, "Walk into any workplace, and there’s always a fancy coffee machine with a dozen options. But when it comes to tea? One dusty bag, a kettle, and maybe a splash of milk if you’re lucky. 

“I started Chai GPTea because I knew tea lovers deserved better - something thoughtful, modern, and rooted in wellness. Our machine doesn’t just serve tea; it serves a little moment of comfort and care in the middle of a busy day."
