About Teabox
Teabox was started in 2012 in Siliguri, West Bengal, by Kausshal Dugarr, whose family was already in the tea trade. It sells online only and ships from India, with tracked delivery quoted at 10 to 14 days. Investors in earlier rounds included Accel, JAFCO Asia and Ratan Tata, and press coverage in 2015 put its supplier base at more than 200 estates in India and Nepal.
The pitch is freshness and traceability: tea goes into a dehumidified facility and is vacuum-packed straight away, and each lot carries its invoice number and picking date. Half the catalog is black tea, sold by garden and flush: Castleton, Margaret's Hope, Giddapahar and Jungpana from Darjeeling; Halmari, Mangalam and Doomni from Assam; and Nilgiri winter-frost lots. Order Castleton Summer Muscatel and Assam Halmari Summer Black first to compare the two regions.
