Dorje Teas
As Seen on Shark Tank India. Dorje began as a conversation between two friends about the decaying Darjeeling Tea industry, immediately after the lockdown last year. India has 10,000 tea gardens. But only 87 of them are Darjeeling tea gardens, producing high quality teas known worldwide as “The Champagne of Teas.” While these teas are India’s pride, we realised that they are simply unaccessible, unavailable or unaffordable, for most Indians. First and Second Flush Teas would mostly get exported, and would only be available in India for very expensive prices. What was available on the shelves at affordable prices for neither organic, fresh, authentic, or tasty. We realised that even the new-age e-commerce companies that were trying to disrupt the market, have merely replaced the middlemen— neither were the gardens benefitting under their model, nor were the customer. We are changing that. We bring India’s best for Indians first. Through our subscription model, we make the entire produce from the garden available to our customers. This is the only way that the tea gardens can benefit. They no longer have to be dependent on multinationals, exporters, or retailers. By connecting customers directly to the garden, they have access to the some of the best teas in the world at some of the best prices possible.
