About Us
I’ve always loved cooking. There’s something special about making food and sharing it with the people I care about. Around our table, we’ve shared countless meals, laughs, and stories—but no matter what, there was always a pot of tea nearby. Tea has been part of our family’s rhythm for as long as I can remember. It brings us together.
A few years ago, my wife Nidhi started making her own herbal tea blends. One of her first creations, what we now call Saffron Serenity,was a beautiful mix of warmth and calm. She made it for herself, then for our kids, and soon friends and family were asking for it too. That’s when we knew we were onto something, and decided to explore tea more deeply.
Our journey led us to Darjeeling, where I met Rajah Banerjee, a visionary tea grower and environmentalist. With his help, we connected with small tea farms in the Himalayan region. These farms are 100% organic and follow sustainable practices, using clean energy and natural composting to care for the land. Even more inspiring, many of the farmers we work with are women—strong, skilled, and leading the way toward a more balanced future for tea.
Tru Essence was born from this blend of passion, purpose, and connection. From our hearts, from the fresh tea farms, to your kitchen table.
