INDIAN TEA
Introduced during the colonial era and rooted in ancient native traditions, tea has become an essential part of Indian life, from the refined estates of Darjeeling to the vibrant streetside chai culture. Each region, each harvest, tells a different story of flavor, climate, and craft.
At AN SHIM TEA, we honor this rich legacy by offering a curated selection of authentic Indian teas, sourced from respected gardens and crafted with care to reflect the diversity and strength of India's tea heritage.

ABOUT
India’s relationship with tea is both ancient and modern. While indigenous tea plants have grown wild in northeastern forests for centuries, especially in Assam, it was during the British colonial era in the 19th century that tea became a national industry. In response to rising demand in Europe and competition with Chinese imports, the British established vast tea plantations across India’s highlands and valleys. Over time, India emerged as one of the world’s largest tea producers, shaping both global markets and domestic culture.
