What Makes It Awesome

If you’re a tea lover and want to take a break from the mass-produced tea of your local kirana store, give Dharmsala’s hand-crafted teas a chance. Dharmsala Tea Company has been growing their own teas in the Himalayas for 135 years and is currently being run by its sixth generation of tea planters. Their specialty is single-origin Kangra teas. 

Dharmsala Tea Company has been growing their own teas in the Himalayas for 135 years and is currently being run by its sixth generation of tea planters. Their specialty is single-origin Kangra teas. We have tried many teas from their curated range of orthodox teas, herbal blends, floral blends, fruit blends and of course spice blends, not to mention the amazing Ayurvedic wellness teas. Their teas are not very potent so if you like your cuppa strong, you have to throw in a little bit extra into the boiling water. If you like it light, this tea is for you.

Our favourite? Himalayan Thunderstorm - a unique twist on your typical masala chai. Brew a cup when the rains visit and revisit old memories of the Himalayas. While we enjoyed the Rose tea, we’re always looking for quicker alternatives, at least while we’re on the job. The saffron green teabags are great for days when you are in need of a quick boost to get on with your day.

Check out Dharmsala’s website. They’ve made selecting your tea super easy by categorising it into day teas, night teas, morning teas, black teas, white teas and so on. 

Pro Tip

They also offer an exclusive tea subscription program, get deliveries of loose teas or pyramid tea bags scheduled, at a frequency of your choice. Every week or month you get small-batch teas carefully curated by their tea masters and blenders, made fresh at their tea gardens.
