DHEKI TEA
Dheki tea is a type of traditional tea on our platform. The term "Dheki" refers to a traditional rice-pounding tool of Assam used in the Dheki tea manufacturing process to pound the tea leaves. You can brew this tea in 3 ways, steeping, boiling, and straining. It can be brewed with milk or prepared as iced tea. It can be an ideal substitute for CTC tea. The origin of Dheki tea is still uncertain. But as heard from the elders, we came to know that the history of Dheki tea goes back to the time of commercial tea plantations. During that time, the villagers prepared Dheki tea for personal consumption from tea leaves harvested from tea trees in the surrounding vicinity or grown in their yard, which was eventually banned owing to pressure from the then-authorities under the colonial era. The revival of Dheki tea in the present time by our handmade tea artisans brought with it fresh innovation in the manufacturing process of Dheki tea, which helped recreate the flavor profile of this long-forgotten tea drinking tradition.
