Your cups a day and grams per cup. The result updates as you type.
Grams per cup is your recipe: weigh it once. Kilograms = cups a day × days × grams per cup ÷ 1,000.
The formula
Chai patti per month (kg) = cups a day × grams per cup × 30 ÷ 1,000
Kilograms a month by cups and recipe strength
| Cups a day | 2.5 g a cup | 3 g a cup | 4 g a cup |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 1.88 kg (4 pouches) | 2.25 kg (5 pouches) | 3 kg (6 pouches) |
| 50 | 3.75 kg (8 pouches) | 4.5 kg (9 pouches) | 6 kg (12 pouches) |
| 100 | 7.5 kg (15 pouches) | 9 kg (18 pouches) | 12 kg (24 pouches) |
| 200 | 15 kg (30 pouches) | 18 kg (36 pouches) | 24 kg (48 pouches) |
| 400 | 30 kg (60 pouches) | 36 kg (72 pouches) | 48 kg (96 pouches) |
Kilograms a month = cups a day × grams per cup × 30 ÷ 1,000. Pouches are rounded up.
What changes the grams per cup
- Strength: a kadak cup takes more chai patti than a light one.
- Cup size: a cutting glass (about 100 ml) takes less than a 150–200 ml cup.
- Milk: more milk in the recipe needs more tea for the same colour.
- Boil time: a longer boil draws out more colour, so some kitchens use a little less tea.
Cost per cup
At ₹250 + GST for 500 g, chai patti costs ₹0.50 a gram before GST. At 3 g per cup, the tea in each cup costs ₹1.50 before GST (₹1.58 with 5% GST); at 4 g, ₹2 (₹2.10). Milk and sugar usually cost more than the tea.
How often to reorder
- Keep one to two weeks of stock, so a late delivery never stops the counter.
- Reorder when you open the last few pouches, not the last one.
- Order once a month for a steady price and less admin.
