Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes KVL Hill Garden Teas different from other tea brands?

At KVL Hill Garden Teas, we believe exceptional tea begins with exceptional ingredients. We source teas at origin and thoughtfully blend them with botanicals, fruits, flowers, and spices to create distinctive flavor profiles that are meant to be experienced, not simply consumed. We don't blend to fix tea. We blend to elevate it. Each tea is created with purpose, balancing the character of the tea with complementary ingredients while honoring where it comes from.

2. Where does your tea come from?

Our teas are sourced from carefully selected tea-growing regions and estates, with a strong focus on India. Our collection includes teas from renowned regions such as Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgiri, as well as specialty ingredients sourced from other regions when they best serve a particular blend. We believe in "Sourced at Origin" because knowing where a tea comes from is an important part of understanding what makes it special.

3. Are KVL Hill Garden Teas organic?

Many of our teas and ingredients are organically sourced, and we prioritize high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients whenever possible. Because our collection includes both single-estate teas and blends containing multiple ingredients, organic certification can vary by product. We clearly identify organic products and their certifications on the individual product pages.

4. Who are the people behind KVL Hill Garden Teas?

KVL Hill Garden Teas was founded by Nichole and Prabuddha Kanjilal, whose love of tea, India, and bringing people together inspired the brand. What started with a passion for exceptional Indian single-estate teas evolved into a collection of distinctive blends and specialty teas. Today, we combine our appreciation for tea-growing traditions with a more modern approach to flavor, creating teas that feel both authentic and unexpected.

5. How should I choose the right tea for me?

Start with the flavors you already love. If you enjoy a classic, robust cup, explore our black teas and breakfast blends. Prefer something floral, fruity, or aromatic? Try one of our specialty blends, such as French Earl Grey. Looking for something fresh and vibrant? Our green tea blends offer a different experience. And for something naturally dramatic and caffeine-free, Indigo Bloom Butterfly Pea Flower Tea is a beautiful choice. Each tea has its own personality, so we encourage you to explore and find the ones that become your favorites.
