Mayukh Tea

In the undulating hills where the charming steam engine toots through the mist, and piping hot thukpa and momo are served in the alleyways, our little town of Darjeeling, famous for many cups of steaming hot tea, resides. But like these hills, the journey of the steaming hot tea to those cups succumbs to many undulations. Mayukh, in Sanskrit means 'the first ray of light', is our hope for a new dawn in the world of Darjeeling tea.

Mayukh started off in 2007 in the heart of Darjeeling town itself. Our idea was to create a cozy corner where people could not only buy the freshest tea straight from the gardens, but experience and understand the history, chemistry, and culture behind Darjeeling tea.

The Mayukh website is our effort to open up this cozy corner a little bit more to welcome you into the world of authentic Darjeeling tea and its people.
