43 years after being founded in New Delhi, we continue to honour our roots by ensuring that every pack of tea sold under the Sancha brand is full of aroma & well balanced
The brands philosophy is deep entrenched in the passion for excellence pursued by its founder & Master Tea Taster- Sanjay Kapur.
The SAN-CHA selections represent teas & blends that are painstakingly selected & curated by professionals from amongst thousands of batches of teas produced in India (the world’s largest producer of black teas).
Offering over 100 varieties of teas that include the revered Single Estate selections, imported teas & our award-winning blends of Indian varietals, micro batch blended with natural spices, herbs & fresh flowers.
Digging deep into an extensive knowledge base of years of research has helped us understand soil, climate, terroir & rainfall and this helps strengthen our forte of identifying geographies & estates that produce exotic aromas which fall in the realms of being grassy, woody, floral, spicy & muscatel.
Our Masters wake up at 4am to start the rolling of leaf in the
factory when temperatures are lower & its cool .
Not only the rolling but we take pains to develop the tea to attain its
maximum aroma during the oxidation process, which is the most critical stage of
manufacturing fine teas . At the correct time of maturity, the master tea makers order
the tea to be dried.
Some teas are dried at a slightly higher temperatures to develop the aroma especially the ‘muscatel’ note whereas some at a lower
temperature to retain the green/vegetal and floral notes.
We source our teas only from Tea Estates that are members of the Indian Tea Association.
Fair wages paid by ITA registered tea estates are as per the laws of India.
ITA tea gardens are also tea board accredited gardens which follow recommended Plant Protection and soil preservation Code
(PPC certified teas only used in our blends )
