01The plucking standard
Two leaves and a bud
Two tender leaves and a bud — the only combination that delivers the right strength, aroma, and finesse. Anything coarser sacrifices flavour for yield.

Our Craft
Every cup of Dholagiri starts long before brewing — with the right leaf, plucked at the right moment, by hands that know the difference. It's the part most brands skip past. It's the part that matters most.
01The plucking standard
Two tender leaves and a bud — the only combination that delivers the right strength, aroma, and finesse. Anything coarser sacrifices flavour for yield.
02Tender leaves, by the chemistry
Young leaves carry the polyphenols, amino acids, and aroma precursors that make tea worth drinking. As leaves mature, these fade. We don't compromise on tenderness.
03The human element
Expert hands and trained eyes decide what gets plucked and what stays. After fifty years, we've learned the gardens — and the people — who get it right.
Five decades of this is what's in your cup.
