Embarking on the Wildest Bequeath
Leafii is a symbol of privilege and diplomacy, as well as an illumination of the finest teas known to man. It illuminates the world of rare infusions, from ancient cliff-grown oolongs to meticulous Spring flush harvests.
Tea is a rich global tradition that shaped world trade and fueled empires. It grew from a Chinese medicinal drink into a daily ritual across the world.
Basically, this is a collaboration of thoughts, creativity, and efforts combined during the COVID lockdown phase in India. The three of us, all from different professional backgrounds, agreed to invest in the environment and sustainability through the "green leaf effect."
With our detailed research in this domain, we have selected a wide range of herbs and spices from different states across India. Starting with basics like staples, tea, and coffee, and moving to herbal or medicinal flowers and kitchen spice racks, we are eager to fulfill every need for fresh products
Himank Phukan
A Don Bosco alumnus graduated in botany and a martial arts enthusiast, Himank could not find the true essence of tea while living in Delhi. This is where he uncovered the exceptional quality and diversity of teas that could open eyes to the disparity in the tea offerings back home. Consequently, he intended to bring a sanctuary from Assam—our state with the finest leaves—where tea flows like liquid gold, to be savored only by a chosen few.
Shivani Dhiman
A visionary founder of Leafii tea, a bonsai enthusiast, and a dedicated teacher educated at Miranda House, Shivani analyzed the difference in quality and pH value among all the available teas in the market. Eventually, she recommended that we co-create our Tea House. They have always found solace and tranquility in the daily ritual of sipping tea together.
Ankit Singh Rathor
An artist appointed by the bonsai lover, entrusting him with the authority to scour the realm in search of the rarest and finest teas fit only for the royal palate.He discovered a passion for herbal Jasmine tea during his college days. Now, he is driven by a desire to understand its health benefits and traditional uses. This spirit led to a deep exploration of the world of tea, from its rich history to its diverse flavors and aromas.
A cup of tea is an integral part of everyday life in India. Though we have never thought about how a unique plant from faraway Imperial China became the nation's top most favorite drink. But the history of tea is pretty interesting as it originating in ancient China as a medicinal drink before spreading globally through trade and colonial expansion.
