Gurrinder
‘Indi’ Khanna– Indi is a
unique individual in the world of tea who has literally 'grown'
in the business. Starting out as a junior Tea planter in 1975
by rolling up his sleeves and dirtying his hands at the grassroots
level, Indi has ascended the ladder one rung at a time, finally
maturing into a ‘one of a kind expert' in the domain
of international tea trade. While the extraordinary passage
from tea planting to international tea trade has been an exciting
and exceptional journey, the invaluable experiences gained
along the way enable Indi to bring a unique perspective into
the business. Currently located in and operating from the
heart of 'Tea Country' in the Nilgiri Hills in South India,
Indi literally roams the tea-growing regions of the world,
including amongst the most remote and inaccessible tea estates
in Sri Lanka, India, China, and Kenya, constantly and personally
seeking out and innovating to procure the best and highest-quality
teas before finally, selecting only the very best of the best.
Whether we’re talking Single Estate Teas, Blends, Herbals,
or the more esoteric forms of tea, Indi and his experience
are there to assure the best possible in terms of quality
as well as the widest range possible. Indi’s experience
is readily available for both you, as well as YOUR customer’s
benefit.

Savannah’s Restaurant and Tea Room in 2004. This, in
