Our Roots

In the bustling heart of Bombay (now Mumbai), the brothers Rajaram Kashinath Navare and Madhav Kashinath Navare established a specialized blending studio under the original brand "AmberTips." Rejecting the constraints of singular estates, their mission was pure: to master the custom blend.

"AmberTips" quickly earned a reputation for discretion and superior quality. Our clientele was the most demanding in the region: discerning British residents and true Indian tea lover connoisseurs who understood the difference between mass production and premium, hand-picked, custom blending.

Following India's independence, the Navare family's blending expertise proved invaluable. "AmberTips" began quietly supplying its proprietary, customized blends to one of the Leading Business Houses and established Tea Companies in India.

During this pivotal period, the business scaled up its B2B operations significantly. We became the trusted, silent partner supplying truckloads of specialized tea powder to one of India's pre-eminent business tycoons and top tea brands.

The transition to Somansh Tea marks a purposeful Rejuvenation honoring the meticulous, century-old legacy of the Navare family while presenting it through a lens of modern, rooted Indian luxury.
