What is Secret of Tea ?

The Secret of Tea is more than a platform - it's an invitation to uncover the untold stories behind India’s finest teas. This experiential space is designed to awaken curiosity and deepen appreciation for tea by revealing the "secrets" that make every cup extraordinary.

Tea Trivia

Tea bags were accidentally invented in 1908 when Thomas Sullivan's customers steeped his silk sample bags directly in hot water. This unintentional method led to the creation of the modern tea bag.

Da Hong Pao

The most expensive tea in the world is Da Hong Pao, a rare Chinese oolong. At one point, its leaves were valued even higher than gold, fetching prices up to $1 million per kilogram!

Camellia Sinensis Assamica

Did you know that India's vast tea industry began with a wild discovery? In the early 19th century, indigenous tea plants (Camellia sinensis assamica) were found growing wild in Assam, leading the British to realize India's potential as a major tea-producing nation. This pivotal discovery paved the way for the diverse and celebrated Indian teas we enjoy today.
