TEA JOURNEY
Our Tea Trail
The pioneering tea journey of BALAJI AGRO INTERNATIONAL traces its history back to 1959 when Mr. Santosh Kanoria took over the tea plantations of his family, the Kanoria group of industries, and transformed them into efficient quality conscious estates. A renowned planter and taster, he owned and managed tea estates in Assam, Terai, Darjeeling and Dooars. He was a pioneer in the field of Indian tea exports.
In 1969 Santosh reduced his involvement in plantations to concentrate on exports of quality teas. Balaji Agro International was born to fulfil this dream. Its sister concern, Kanoria International was formed in 1994 to focus on organic tea exports and future Darjeeling plantations.
The cornerstones of this firm since foundation have been: Trust, Service and Value for money. It is this sincerity of objective coupled with an in-depth knowledge of tea and its marketing, as well as our high personalised levels of service that has made BALAJI AGRO INTERNATIONAL a respected name in the international tea world today.
Balaji Agro International is a specialised entity with a broad vision.
