Founded in 2023, Dessoi was born from the personal health and wellness journey of our founder - Alekhya Madiraju, during the lockdown. Drinking too much caffeine left her jittery, so she turned to herbal teas as an alternative. However, she found that most herbal teas did have the 'kadak'ness of chai, were packed with added sugars and artificial flavors, or had a bitter aftertaste. This experience stayed with her and felt like a gap that needed to be addressed in the future.

Fast forward to 2023, she left my corporate job to pursue her entrepreneurial dream. Her experience with herbal teas resurfaced, and after deep research and countless discussions, Dessoi came to life. Our mission? To create 100% natural products (starting with herbal teas) with no artificial flavors or additives, inspired by Ayurvedic wisdom, and free of any bitter aftertaste.

 

What makes Dessoi special is our innovative blending technique. We use essential oils and 5% herbal ingredients in every blend, preserving the rich flavor, vibrant color, and body of authentic chai while adding the health benefits of herbs and superfoods.

 

 All our teas are directly sourced from the 90-year-old Bahani Tea Gardens in Assam, which is a 400 hectare estate managed by the Phukan family, ensuring purity with no middlemen involved. This means you get the freshest, highest-quality tea with zero adulteration.

 

Our teas are proudly certified by the Tea Board of India and FSSAI, with all nutritional details validated by an FSSAI-certified lab. We blend our teas in small batches to keep the leaves full and pack them in premium glass bottles to lock in freshness. At Dessoi, every cup is a promise—a perfect blend of flavor, quality, and holistic wellness that bridges tradition and innovation.
