Why Teabox.com

This is the goal we are trying to achieve through our tea store - to bring great tea into the everyday life.
Freshest teas that make a delicious cup
So, what makes our teas great? Well, it’s got a lot to do with freshness. And the reason why freshness matters is because tea is an agricultural product. So, fresher tea tastes better and is healthier. We buy the first pick of every season and take utmost care when it comes to storage and packaging. We work directly with tea growers who know to hand-select tea leaves for their texture, color, scent, and purity. And by sourcing the highest-quality Indian teas directly from the most capable and most interesting growers and estates, Teabox’s online tea shop makes it easy for anyone—from tea experts to complete novices—to experience the freshness, delicate aromas, flavors, and authenticity that fine loose-leaf tea has to offer. We can do this because we’re based in the same foothills and gardens where our teas are grown.

Teabox’s founder, Kausshal Dugarr, comes from a family that’s worked in the tea industry. Growing up in Darjeeling, Kausshal graduated in Business from Singapore Management University. He returned home to work in the tea industry. In a short while, Kausshal began to feel that technology could bring about that change that was sorely needed in the 200-year old industry. And he founded DarjeelingTeaXpress, the precursor to what would become Teabox. His vision, that every cup of tea sold will be the freshest cup of tea there is, has driven how the organization has grown. Now backed by strong investors and customers turned investors, Kausshal’s dream for Teabox is to make it India’s first global brand.
Billionaire Bass Backs India Startup Over Mutual Taste for Tea
The unusual partnership between a Texas billionaire and an Indian entrepreneur began with a mutual appreciation for tea. Robert M. Bass, the storied 67-year-old investor, disliked the
bitterness of coffee but had a hard time finding a good cup of tea. Kausshal Dugarr, a 32-year-old who grew up in the tea country of northeastern India, was trying to bring modern practices
like online sales to centuries-old plantations. When Bass first read about Dugar’s startup in mid-2014 and its claims to have access to prized teas from places like Darjeeling, he went online
right away to give it a try. Before long, Bass became an investor in his company Teabox and something of a mentor for Dugar. “The company is trying to bring tea distribution from literally the
19th century to the 21st,” Bass said in a telephone interview from Fort Worth, Texas. “I think that’s fascinating.” Bass put money into the company when it raised $6 million from investors that
also included Jafco Asia Co., Accel Partners and Dragoneer Investment Group LLC. For founder and chief executive officer Dugar, the support from Bass has given him a secret weapon in
his three-year journey to disrupt India’s $4.8 billion premium tea market.

Robert Bass
American investor and tea connoisseur Robert Bass found Teabox while searching for teas that would not disappoint. In 2014, on reading about the company and its access to the finest Darjeelings, he immediately went online to try it. Not only did he find the teas supremely enjoyable but he decided that he liked what Teabox stood for even more. “The company is trying to bring tea distribution from literally the 19th century to the 21st. I think that’s fascinating,” he said in an interview. So, besides being one of Teabox’s most loyal customers, Robert chose to participate in its second round of funding in early 2015.
Cameron Jones
Singapore-based Australian investment banker, Cameron Jones was introduced to Teabox by a friend. A fan of Assam teas, he quickly became a regular customer here. His feedback was that “the packaging and product are absolutely world class.” Shortly after, he decided to explore the business side of Teabox and was sold on the idea. He became our second cusomer investor in early 2016.
