CEO Speaks

From the beginning, I had a romantic affair with tea. Wherever one is born in India, one will most likely get introduced to this magical drink at an early age. A beverage that kick starts the day and most likely also catalyses a comforting space and time in the evening, where people share stories, troubles and happiness over a cup. From an early age, I was fascinated by how people’s lives revolved around this magical beverage called tea.

No wonder,
I fell in love with tea.

I eagerly waited for the time when tea was served at our home. Usually, it was morning and evening but one could demand a cup of tea every now and then. Tea time was always soothing, comforting and free of worries. Tea was one of the invisible threads that tethered my family together. No matter the usual quarrels, we always sat together for tea and it perhaps helped us resolve our differences.

Tea plays a significant role in millions of households, it mends bonds and heal souls. It is bewitching to see how a cup of tea lifts people’s spirit and mood, and how it gives them courage and hope to endure another day.

I was determined that tea was my life’s calling. I mustered up the energy to get focused on the journey which started as a tea vendor in Kishanganj railway stations and bus stops.

I learnt a lot in the process
and the more I learnt the more this realization
became evident that I didn’t want
to settle for anything lesser.

Evergreen is the living embodiment of my dreams of offering fresh and brisk teas to all tea lovers. As a vendor, I learnt the journey that tea makes in a country as vast as India. It was ostensible that tea lost its vigour in the travel and being surrounded by fine tea growing region I made up my mind to make and deliver the freshest of tea to the numerous tea lovers of India. I was adamant to expose the nation to the cultural heritage that tea entails by making the finest and freshest of teas accessible to all. It was important for me to make people understand and appreciate tea.
