Finally, a wah tea

Rooted in the Kangra Valley, Himachal Pradesh, Wah Tea is grown, hand-plucked and crafted at our own 500-acre estate in the Himalayan foothills at Palampur. We are 4th generation planters growing original Camellia Sinensis bushes — no clonals, no pesticides, no chemicals. Every leaf is single-estate: grown, processed, and packed fresh at source with no middlemen and no blending from elsewhere. If you're looking for genuine single estate that you can actually trace, this is it. Sip. Savour. That’s Wah.

The People

Wah Tea is incredible thanks to the amazing people who make it so. Our team comprises of 70% women, with families who have traveled from our Assam gardens to call Himachal their new home. Very early on, they realized that quality matters more than quantity, so our team picks only the best leaf. On the management side, Surya has infused the garden with new energy and fresh ideas. From creating an organic section, to improving on the traditional hand-roasted green teas, there is always something he can improve and think about.
