Our Philosophy
Authenticity
Just like you, we are true to our roots. Whether we are born here or back home, we all carry the distinctly sweet and familiar smell of that earth. We might live in the US, but our culture, our ways and our conventions are unmistakably Indian. That’s why we have real, karak-tasting instant teas. So even if we are in a hurry, the flavor is never missed out.
Traditions
Just like you, we value traditions. Whether it’s sticking to the customs and celebrating the holidays we’ve grown up with or creating new rituals in our adopted home, traditions keep us connected to what’s important. That’s why we have the finest loose tea to celebrate the ever-important tea making ritual, one cup of chai at a time.
Hybridity
Like you, we are a blend of two different cultures, two distinct ways of living, two individual ideas. We bring together the vibrant, unique sense of India with the limitless possibilities of America. We’re proud of the extraordinary hybrid blend that gives our tea that special flavor. That is why our tea is chosen from the finest tea leaves in Assam in India and produced in state-of-the-art facilities in the US.
Trailblazers
Just like you, we charted our own course. When we came to the United States, there was no way to get fresh, authentically Indian, great tasting tea. The only tea available was shipped from India, sitting in containers over months and losing their flavor and freshness. So, we decided to do what had not been done before. In 1981, we launched Tea India and became the first tea brand established by an Indian immigrant in the country.
