About The Brand and Founder

Anubha Jhawar Celes Te Tea Brand Founder

ANUBHA JHAWAR, Sommelier and Tea blender, Founder

Anubha’s tryst with tea began at an early age. She looked forward to accompanying her father, Manoj Jhawar, a master tea taster, on his numerous tea tasting expeditions. She spent a good part of her childhood in and around the sprawling tea estates that dot the foothills of the Himalayas in Darjeeling, West Bengal. Enjoying her time amidst the tea bushes, she became quite familiar with the deft plucking of the two leaves and bud that give every tea its unique flavour. CelesTe stems from a genuine love for tea, and a curiosity to experiment with blends. 

Anubha pursued her interest in tea by training under the British Tea Master Jane Pettigrew in London in 2018. She wanted to pursue her passion, and adapt the right skills to start her own collection of tea blends.

She wanted to create tea blends allowing all sorts of varied and unique flavours to steep together as Artisanal tea. She went beyond the usual blends and took a step into the entrepreneurial world of tea with CelesTe to bring artisanal infusions and blends to modern tea aficionados.

Artisanal Blends and Brews 

The CelesTe bouquet of tea stands out for their non-traditional, distinctly bespoke characters. CelesTe sources its tea from select, carefully chosen estates spanning across Darjeeling, Assam, Nepal, and the Nilgiri hills, producing some of the country’s finest and best tea. After withering and due processing, the tea undergo various tasting sessions and hand blended in small batches. Labeled separately, the tea are then put through a vacuum packing process entailing three-layered aluminum packaging. This ensures that the tea is protected from exposure to moisture and air. It prevents the growth of microorganisms that have an adverse impact on the freshness, aroma, and flavour of the tea.  

The creative element of these exceptional blends is the unique pairings of fine ingredients. The overtones, and undertones are carefully matched to make a well- balanced blend, and meet the CelesTe vision.
