 I grew up collecting teas from around the world. Friends and family who would travel well would bring back teas to me from China, Japan, Kenya, South Africa, Russia and so on. I store them in my father's old trunk, a very, very dear treasure to me. And at one point in time, I owned 100 different exotic and rare teas from around the world. But I knew very little about them. So decade later, I decided to study tea. And growing up in India, with tea being a very, very integral part of our day, India being one of the leaders in tea production in the world, how difficult would you imagine it could be to study tea? But I was in for a big surprise because in India, there wasn't a single tea school to study tea. So in 2011, I took off to Sri Lanka to study tea professionally. It was a beautiful experience waking up at five o'clock in the morning, going down to the tea estates and plucking tea leaves with the workers, coming back to the factory and seeing how those leaves are processed. And in the evening, brewing a fresh cup of tea from the same leaves that we plucked that morning. It was a wonderful experience. It changed everything that I knew about tea. I learned that behind every cup of tea, there's a story, there's a ritual and there's a culture. The more I knew and the more I got curious to learn more about it. For example, I learned that Darjeeling is celebrated world over as the champagne of tea. Or even that green tea and black tea don't come from different plants or as we as you know, we popularly think it does. Any kind of tea, whether it's green, black, white, red, blue, yellow, purple. Yes, there are as many different kinds of tea. They all come from the same plant that is the chamelea sinensis. I was very, very excited to come back to India and share my learnings. So I traveled across Assam, Darjeeling in Nilgiri, visiting different tea estates in India and learning more about the teas back home. It changed everything that I knew about tea. India produces some of the finest teas in the world, but they continue to remain unexplored by its own people. We are one of the largest tea producers in the world. We have several tea brands, but there's not a single global tea brand coming out of India. You know when the world over is turning to India to capitalize on the tea addiction of 1 billion people, we've still failed to look within. So during my travels across tea estates, I learned about the key challenge that allows for this market practice. And that's primarily that quality tea producers believe that there's no market for specialty teas, especially because CTC, which is the tea that's used for making chai, dominates consumption charts for the first time that all of these changes are being noticed and more and more people are joining in and talking about it. When I returned from Sri Lanka, I started Tea Trunk, a tribute to the same trunk where my journey with tea began, and we work with tea producers across India, helping them produce quality tea without compromise. And on the other hand, we work with consumers of tea, hosting tasting sessions and tea appreciation events to help promote and build more awareness and advocacy around tea. Our two-sided approach has helped us align and completes the circle and allowing us to create newer markets and opportunities. It's been a fascinating journey, especially tea is the world's most consumed beverage. Our initiative is just one small step towards this journey, but I'd like more and more people to join me on this journey backwards from your tea cup to the tea leaves. Tomorrow morning, when you wake up to your morning cup of tea, I'd like you to ask this question, who grows your tea? I guarantee whichever part of the world you're in, two out of five cups can be traced back to India. Tea was first discovered in the East and was prescribed as a medicine, primarily because of its medicinal properties. However, the consumption patterns of tea around the world are changing. While in the East, we slowly fancy a cup of coffee, whereas in the West, we are rediscovering the health benefits of tea. To set the world map of tea right again, we're in the process of partnering with tea estates across India to partner with them as a potential, to host learning opportunities to study tea. And my dream is to set up India as a global learning hub for tea, because India without a tea school is what France is like without a wine school. Thank you.
