Founders & their story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunil Chandra Saha,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nitesh Singh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founders of the company have always wanted to try new flavours and blends, which is why the company has been so successful. In 2016, they decided to look into the business of flower tea, which in India was seen as something “foreign and exotic.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were travelling, they came across a tea that was popular in Southeast Asia and had a blue colour. There were almost no domestic players in the market, and there weren’t many imports. They saw this as a chance to bring something new to India by mixing local herbs with flowers from far away & this is how Blue Tea was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
