The Tea Story

TEAGIQAL Dheki Tea draws inspiration from the traditional tea-making practices of Assam, before modern machinery became part of everyday production. The name comes from the dheki, a wooden foot-operated tool traditionally used to pound rice and grains by hand. This handcrafted approach gives the tea its distinctive identity while retaining the bold character expected from an Assam CTC-style tea. It is a simple connection between Assamese heritage and the everyday cup.
