For us, tea is a way of life!
A 5 decade+ ongoing love affair with Camellia sinensis. Driven by an obsession, that romance has evolved into a unique artisanal factory offering the trade and consumer a range of teas with character. Long viewed as a staid and uninteresting drink, our teas have radically changed that perception, transforming the beverage into an exciting and youthful experience.

Located in the Nilgiris, we are bang-smack in the heart of Tea country.
Leveraging professional relationships nurtured over decades in the industry and working in tandem with thoroughbred tea professionals from 3 continents, we have matured into an internationally recognized success story.
The backbone of our operations is a clutch of 8 marginal tribal farmers who supply us with the ultrafine raw material which enables us to produce our unique teas.

Each one of the White, Green, Oolong, Pu’er and Black Teas produced in the Tea Studio and featured in our online store, is a delicately crafted, limited-edition product, the outcome of delicate handling and focused attention extending all the way from the bush to the cup. Distinctive Teas with personality and a well-defined appearance which, when brewed, deliver a unique and recognizable cup character.

For the tea purveyor in whichever country, we are literally a ‘one-stop-shop’ for specialty teas, delivering factory fresh Teas directly to your doorstep.
In addition to specialities, for the bulk trade we are the ‘go to’ guys, servicing businesses with teas conforming to specific buyer requirements with confidence in our ability to deliver consistent quality having been built over decades of experience in various tea origins.

50+ Years of “Tea Passion” talking ……
Mine has been a life which has been blessed, living and breathing Tea, starting at the grassroots level, I have literally 'grown up' in the industry.
Decades of experience, extending from the tea nursery to the consumer shelf has transformed me into a unique individual within the Tea industry.
Being an ongoing story still being written, thankfully the journey and the learning continues.
Minimum order 6 kg, delivered door to door. Prices in US dollars per kg.
Relationships nurtured over decades in Tea, is what has enabled Tea ‘n’ Teas to mature to its present avatar.
While we operate out of a remote rural area in the Nilgiris, we have an unprecedented international outreach, fuelled by the proactive support and involvement of thoroughbred and dedicated tea-professionals located in countries across the globe.
These are all personal friends who have become an integral piece in the jigsaw puzzle of our success story.

While ongoing and a story still being written, since 1975 the industry has been an integral part and a passion in Indi’s life. 50+ years of hands-on experience in every single aspect related to tea, stretching all the way from the tea nursery & field cultivation leading into manufacture & blending and further extending into international trade, is what makes him a unique individual in the industry.
Well known and respected for his optimism and forceful character, Indi has been an innovative force in the Nilgiri Hills where he has been producing artisanal teas for many years. All the learning and experience in his ongoing journey has been encapsulated into his dream project – The Tea Studio.
His efforts having been recognised by the industry, in ’22 he was honoured by the UK Tea Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Tea has always been a part of Muskan’s life. With her father having spent more than five decades in the tea industry, stepping into the world of tea was, in many ways, a natural progression, though, after earning a degree in Media Studies from the University of Birmingham and beginning a career in advertising, Muskan took a different path before returning to the family’s roots and finding her own place in the world of tea.
At the Tea Studio, she has combined the experience and knowledge passed down by her father with her own curiosity, creativity and willingness to experiment. What began as a journey into an industry she had grown up around has evolved into a passion for creating teas that challenge convention while staying true to the character of the Nilgiris.
The tea industry, traditionally a male-dominated one, Muskan is proud to be part of a new generation helping to change that. Today, she leads a dedicated, all-women team drawn largely from the neighbouring villages, working alongside them to create distinctive, small-batch teas from leaf to finished product.
The Tea Studio is driven by a simple belief: great tea doesn't always have to follow tradition. Sometimes, it comes from questioning it.
From experimenting with different processes and styles to developing teas that have never been made in the Nilgiris before, the Studio continues to explore what is possible with the leaf. One of the most significant milestones in this journey has been the development of Green Nilgiri Bamboo, an innovative tea for which Muskan holds a patent.
Green Nilgiri Bamboo was only the beginning. Today, the Tea Studio continues to experiment, innovate and discover new expressions of Nilgiri tea, with the same curiosity that started this journey in the first place.

Four professional and obsessive tea-tasters, each specializing in a different tea-growing region. Each one of the four (Kevin / Hugo / François / Jasmin) in addition to running their world-famous catalogue, also specialise in a different growing region in the world of Tea, travelling and sourcing the very best teas which each origin has to offer. Each one of them being fully committed and totally immersed in almost all aspects of the industry including research, education, publication, consultation and trade development.
Based in Montreal, Canada, they run their tea company with a world-famous catalogue, arguably the most prolific source of specialty teas online and are recognized as amongst the most respected tea purveyors of high quality and speciality teas.
Besides their friendship with Indi which has been nurtured over the years, the four ‘Tea Crazies’ each one of whose daily tea consumption compares to the flow of some small rivers, are investors and active partners in the Tea Studio and a source of rock-solid support to the business.

Operating from the Alsace region of France, back in 1994 Arlette Rohmer created her pet project, a tea company which she named Les Jardins de Gaïa (The Garden of the Goddess of the Earth).
Arlette is recognized and respected as being a pioneer of both organic and Fairtrade teas in France. Having developed a vibrant community centred around these initial values, the company now offers the largest range of Fairtrade and organic teas, infusions, and spices in Europe. Today, Les Jardins de Gaïa is a family-owned and independent company with approximately 75 employees, overseeing every stage of production, including the artisanal crafting of their original recipes. All commercial activities from import to sales are handled in-house.
Recognizing the Tea Studio as a project which is aligned to their ethos, Les Jardins de Gaïa is now an investor/partner in the Studio.

Petr Zelik, the man behind the company, has been involved in tea culture since 1993, which is when he founded his company Oxalis čaj a káva which is based in Slusovice in the Czech Republic.
With more than 3 decades of tea tasting and buying under his belt, the company imports and processes loose-leaf teas from major tea producing countries around the World. In pursuit of the best, Petr regularly visits the tea gardens of India, China, Japan, S. Korea, Sri Lanka, Georgia and Kenya.
His quest for the best led him to the Tea Studio, which led to Oxalis, similar to the Canadians and the French, becoming an investor/partner.
