LLUVIA TEA — OUR ORIGIN STORY

From the Heart of Assam, A Promise to Nature and People


Where Our Story Begins

LLluvia Tea was born in the pristine foothills of Manas National Park, Assam—a region where tea has been cultivated with care and craftsmanship for over a century. This land, shaped by fertile soil and abundant rainfall, forms one of the most distinctive tea terroirs in the world.

Here, every leaf carries a story. Every drop of rain, every breeze through the gardens, reflects generations of growers, artisans, and pluckers who have dedicated their lives to the art of tea.

Lluvia means the love of rain—a tribute to the life-giving showers that define Assam’s character and give our teas their depth, strength, and soul.

Lluvia Tea is not just a brand.
It is a promise—to preserve the land that raised us, honour the people who nurtured us, and protect the heritage that defines Assam tea.

Our First Responsibility: The Land

Long before Lluvia Tea became a packaged product, it was a relationship—between soil, rain, and human hands.

We believe the future of tea is inseparable from the future of the land it grows on. This belief shapes every sourcing and farming decision we make.

Our commitment includes:

  • Encouraging regenerative and sustainable farming practices in Assam

  • Working closely with medium-scale estates, women farmers, and artisan growers

  • Exploring agroforestry models to restore biodiversity

  • Reducing chemical dependency and supporting organic transitions

Our partner farms are evolving into living ecosystems—where tea grows alongside native trees, birds, pollinators, herbs, and spices.

We do not merely produce tea.
We nurture an environment where tea, people, and nature thrive together.

 


Our Second Responsibility: The People

Tea is a human story. Across India, over 3.5 million tea pluckers and growers depend on each harvest for their livelihoods.

At Lluvia Tea, we see them not as labour—but as legacy keepers of Assam’s tea culture.

This is why we are committed to:

  • Fair and equitable pricing

  • No middlemen, ensuring better realisation for growers

  • 100% traceability, from garden to cup

  • Investing 2% of our revenue into education and skill development within tea communities

  • Partnerships with women farmers, grassroots artisans, and hand loom weavers

When you choose Lluvia Tea, you are not simply buying tea.
You are supporting families, futures, and a community that has upheld Assam’s identity for over 150 years.

Our Third Responsibility: The Cup You Hold

We believe the tea you drink should be:

  • Freshly plucked

  • Pure and dust-free

  • Handcrafted with intention

  • Shaped by nature, not machinery

By maintaining control from leaf to blend to packaging, we ensure consistency, quality, and authenticity in every cup.

What you experience is more than flavour—it is the soul of Assam.

With every sip, you taste the rainfall, the fertile soil, the skill of the pluckers, and the quiet strength of the forests that surround our gardens.


The Lluvia Vision: A Global Tea Renaissance

Our vision is clear and ambitious—to bring the richness of Assam’s tea heritage to the world, while uplifting every person and every piece of land involved in its journey.

We blend:

  • Tradition with innovation

  • Heritage with sustainability

  • Commerce with compassion

Above all, we blend love into every leaf.

Because Lluvia means the love of rain—and like rain, we hope to nourish everything we touch.


From Us to You — Love at Tea Sight

Every pack of Lluvia Tea is a reminder that great tea is not manufactured.
It is grown, nurtured, and cherished.

This is our story.
This is our journey.
And we are honoured to share it with you.
