About TRINOVA
Bringing India’s finest teas from Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri to your cup.
A tea house between the estate and your cup
TRINOVA INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE LIMITED is an India-based tea export and trading enterprise, dedicated to connecting the finest Indian tea origins with the global market. Rooted in India’s renowned tea-growing regions — Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri — we bridge the gap between premium tea estates and the people who actually drink the tea.
We specialise in sourcing, processing and exporting a wide spectrum of tea grades: high-grade CTC teas, traditional orthodox black teas, green teas and specialty blends tailored for international palates.
This shop is the retail side of that same supply chain. The tea in a 250 g packet on this website comes out of the same lots we ship by the tonne — which is why you can buy export-grade leaf here without an export-grade order.
Shop the collectionPurity. Transparency. Value.
Three commitments that decide what we will and will not put in a packet.
100% whole-leaf
No dust, no fannings padding out the weight. What you brew is the leaf the garden actually picked.
Zero middlemen
We buy at the estate rather than through a chain of brokers, so the price reflects the tea and not the handling.
Three tea regions
Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri — each with its own soil, altitude and season, kept unblended wherever the tea deserves it.
Sourcing, processing, exporting
The three things we do, for a home kitchen and a shipping container alike.
Sourcing
We carefully select teas directly from Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri estates, tasting across flushes rather than buying blind from an auction catalogue.
Processing
Expert handling of every tea grade to preserve flavour, aroma and leaf integrity, with packing done at origin immediately after harvest.
Exporting
Reliable logistics, customised packaging and full documentation support for high-volume and premium Indian tea sourcing worldwide.
Why the region on the packet matters
Assam — low, hot and humid on the Brahmaputra plain. Produces a malty, brisk, deep-amber cup with real strength; the backbone of Indian breakfast tea and of our CTC line.
Darjeeling — high Himalayan foothills where the leaf grows slowly in cool air. Light, floral and muscatel, at its most expressive in the spring first flush.
Nilgiri — the Blue Mountains of the south, picked year-round. Fragrant and smooth, with the rare winter frost harvests turning noticeably sweeter.
Same plant, three climates, three completely different cups. That is the whole argument for buying single-origin instead of a generic blend.
Held to export standards
TRINOVA adheres strictly to global food safety and quality management standards. The same systems that clear an international shipment apply to a single retail packet.
