TEA PRENEUR

Also, Kaushal states that a lot of people don’t know that just like fruits and vegetables, teas need to be fresh to get the full flavour. If a tea is not stored well, it loses its freshness and quality. Ask the 31-year old entrepreneur, who confesses to be a modern history buff, loves running and has completed two full marathons, about his innovations and he states with a twinkle in his eyes, “The teas are sourced from the best tea gardens in Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, Kangra, Sikkim and Nepal. Tea samples are evaluated by expert tea tasting team and only those that match stringent standards are listed on the website and regardless of the location around the world, buyers receive their tea packs within three-five days. As per innovation, we use a natural nitrogen flush in beverages; a technique most commonly used in packaging food items. This innovative approach creates a non-reactive environment that protects the TeaPac from elements that compromise the integrity of the tea causing loss of flavour.” Kaushal adds on his personal favourite flavours, “Darjeeling first flush white teas are exquisite in taste and character, very aromatic and flavourful. Also, I love jasmine green and assam masala chai blends made of natural ingredients.”
