At times, the true essence of a product illuminates through the sacrifices made by individuals, intertwining with the heartfelt dedication and hard-earned fruition poured into its creation.
The saga of Dorje Tea unfolds through the courage and conviction of individuals Sparsh Agarwal and Ishaan Kanoria who dared to step away from conventional paths to resurrect the essence of Selim Hill. Leaving behind established careers, they embarked on a journey to make high-quality organic Darjeeling Tea accessible and affordable for all, especially for their fellow Indians. Dorje Tea's story is alive with the threads of heritage, sacrifice, and a profound love for Darjeeling's rich tea legacy.
With profound connection to the land where tea culture thrives, in Selim Hill Tea Garden, steeped in history since its inception by Henry Selim in 1871, stretches across a sprawling 1,000 acres. Half of this expanse is accompanied by the Selim Hill Forest, a sanctuary embracing diverse species of birds like the majestic Indian hornbill, alongside wildlife including leopards, barking deers, and elephants, intermingled with an array of spiders and serpents. This lush habitat not only sustains life but also encapsulates the very soul of Selim Hill's teas.
What distinguishes Dorje Tea is its unwavering commitment to organic practices.
