AYURVEDA TEA Sips by UDYAN TEA  

This tea won the Bronze Medal for loose blended black teas in the Global Tea Championship this year! A delicious spicy flavor with healing properties of turmeric and other herbs.

We love that the tea crusaders behind Udyan Tea are hardcore tea drinkers themselves - being from Darjeeling, they intrinsically know what good tea tastes like and use their expertise and care to provide an amazing tea experience to people all over the world!

Udyan Tea was conceptualized by budding entrepreneurs from Darjeeling, India, with a passion for tea. They were puzzled by the lack of consumer access to authentic, high-quality tea, and wanted to offer a better, tastier, fresher solution. Udyan Tea sources tea directly from the best gardens, and brings it directly to you by cutting out all middlemen, reducing the time between production and consumption.
