Introduction
From the misty slopes of Darjeeling to the lush fields of Dooars, Bengal has been home to some of the finest tea plantations in the world. But what makes Bengal tea so special? Let’s take a deep dive into its rich legacy and how Bengal T & J continues that tradition.
A History Rooted in Nature
Tea cultivation in Bengal began during British rule, but its roots run much deeper. Over time, local artisans and farmers developed an intricate understanding of soil, weather, and leaf quality—creating blends that are unique in flavor and aroma.
The Estates: Darjeeling & Dooars
- Darjeeling: Known as the “Champagne of Teas,” it offers a musky-sweet flavor with floral notes.
- Dooars: These plains produce strong, full-bodied tea perfect for morning cups.
At Bengal T & J, we partner with family-run estates to maintain traditional harvesting and withering methods.
Our Process
Our tea is hand-picked and minimally processed to preserve its natural properties. We follow ethical sourcing, support small-scale workers, and ensure every step—from plucking to packaging—is done with care.
Culture in a Cup
For Bengalis, tea is an emotion. It’s a companion during monsoons, addaa sessions, and early-morning newspapers. Every cup from Bengal T & J is designed to rekindle that warmth and familiarity.
Carrying the Legacy Forward
We don’t just sell tea—we share a story. Our blends are not mass-produced; they’re curated to reflect the soul of Bengal.
