Being a hallmark of the Indian culture, chai (tea) plays a far more important role than that of a beverage. To some, it is what kick starts their day, while to others, it is an integral part of the rhythm of life. Given how ubiquitous a cup of chai is across the nation, it may come as a surprise to learn that it is a fairly recent national addiction. The per capita consumption of tea has been growing steadily for the past fifty years, and today, Indians consume a whopping 837,000 tonnes of tea. However, the most important part is played by the tea brands that are collecting this source of joy from the exotic tea estates of Darjeeling & Assam and distributing it worldwide.

Enriched with expertise in harvesting & bestowing high-calibre tea to the world, Halmira Estate Tea is one such tea company that is enjoying the crowning legacy of a century.
