Kishanganj is Bihar's only commercial tea belt, yet its leaf mostly leaves as anonymous bulk; a small-batch brand processing and packing Bihar-origin tea owns a distinctive origin story that no other Bihar district can claim.

One quick sign-in to count you — Indian numbers via SMS OTP, everyone else via email OTP.
This brand builds on Kishanganj being Bihar's tea-growing district and takes local tea from green leaf to processed, branded packaged tea: buying leaf from local gardens, processing or job-working it into clean lots, and packing a branded Bihar-origin tea sold direct to customers and through specialty retail. The Seemanchal tri-border gateway helps with inbound leaf and outbound dispatch.
The hard parts: garden scale is small and leaf quality varies, so consistency and a reliable processing arrangement are the main challenge; and you are building a young origin brand against entrenched Assam and Darjeeling names, which takes patient marketing, so expect the business to take time to pay back. Lead with a clear, honest origin narrative rather than competing on price. Buyers are specialty-tea D2C shoppers, regional retail and HoReCa, gifting channels, and online marketplaces seeking novel single-origin Indian teas.
