The Journey of Bag-a-Chai

Vikram and Venita Vohra started their journey in the fall of 1996 having lived most of their early lives on the verdant tea estates of Assam and Darjeeling. Vikram followed his father’s footsteps, Mr C M Vohra, whose vast experience in the industry helped him to understand the art of tea manufacture and tasting. Later, he moved on to the esoteric field of blending teas which brought about a deep understanding of specialized packaging.

Venita is the daughter of Vishnu Lall. A well known tea planter and tea maker, Vishnu Lall is one of the pioneers in quality tea manufacture in Darjeeling with more than 32 years of experience in the field. Harnessing Venita’s artistic skills and love for nature, Vikram and Venita dreamed the vision to revive the elegant serenity, creativity, and comfort inspired by the art of tea. These two artistic souls have combined their belief in the transcendental properties of tea with their individual passions for art and culture.

The result of this vision and blend was Bag–a-Chai.

The Bag-a-Chai Difference

Based in Bangalore, Bag-a-Chai is the export and specialty arm of Vohra Packaging. Bag-a-Chai sources its teas from its parent company, Vohra Tea. The tea is homegrown on their estates in the Quality Zone of Upper Assam, situated on the very foothills where tea was first discovered in India by the pioneers. This tea is transported down to their state of the art packaging unit in Bangalore.

The Vohras take pride in producing tea out of quality clones, personally selected and planted by them to produce the cup that cheers. Our herbal blends use freshly harvested, rough-cut herbs which are sealed to keep that freshness.

Bag-a-Chai has the stamp of experience and the backing of the venerable Vohra Tea Company. Combining modern manufacturing technology with excellent legacy standards, Bag-a-Chai products come steeped with the tradition of pedigree tea. Bag-a-Chai also customizes packaging for clients and has made a niche for itself in the area of specialty teas. The flavors you experience with our teas will be unique and memorable. We offer the best values on a full selection of premium teas for all occasions.
