Our Sourcing
From the gardensto your cup.
Three regions. One unwavering standard. Every leaf and pod that becomes Dholagiri tea begins its journey in places we have come to know by heart.
Origins:
01Assam, Northeast India
Assam.If strength is your weakness, Assam is your cuppa.
Harvested: March to October
The mist-kissed gardens of Assam, watered by the Brahmaputra, produce teas with a deep malty richness and vibrant golden liquor. Strong, brisk, and unmistakably bold — Assam is the cup that built India's chai culture, and the backbone of our range.

Darjeeling.The champagne of teas.
Harvested: March to November · Second Flush peaks May–June
Sourced from the renowned slopes of Darjeeling against the majestic Kanchenjunga backdrop. Handpicked during peak harvest, our second-flush orthodox is prized for its signature muscatel flavour — rich amber liquor with a naturally sweet, grape-like aroma and a smooth, lingering finish.

Dooars.Single-region depth, honest character.
Harvested: March to October
The Dooars belt — the gateway to the Eastern Himalayas — produces teas with a clean, robust body and an honest, full-bodied character. Pure Dooars is the heart of our Chowrangee range: no blending across regions, no shortcuts, just the taste of one place. Cup after cup.

Our Process
From garden,to your cup.
Four steps separate the leaf in a distant garden from the cup in your hand. We've refined each one over fifty years.
- 01
Sourced
We visit the gardens, taste samples, and select only the lots that meet our standard. Every batch begins with a decision made by hand, not algorithm.
- 02
Tasted
Hundreds of samples are evaluated each year by our tea masters. Strength, aroma, body, finish — every parameter judged before approval.
- 03
Blended
Approved lots are blended in proportions perfected over five decades. Goldline, Sadabahar, Elaichi — each recipe holding the same character year after year.
- 04
Packed Fresh
Hygienic, modern packing locks in aroma the moment blending is complete. The cup that reaches you tastes exactly the way it left our floor.
“The shortcuts are everywhere in the tea industry. We've simply never been interested in any of them.”
