You are not going to want to miss Kaziranga National Park! Aside from it being the home of the last 1-horned rhinos in the world, you will see elephants - and if the weather allows, even ride an elephant (as opposed to a jeep) into the park to get close to them.

You will likely see lots of animals, from exotic birds, to cows, goats, chickens, dogs, you name it. India is teeming with life and there's never a dull moment!

We know you'll love it!

Space is definitely limited! There is room for 7 guests plus Jayanta Kakati and Amy Dubin-Nath as your guides, divided in 2 luxury jeeps so everyone has room.

The most important thing is that you get individual attention in the workshops, enjoy the personalized service and are as comfortable as possible along the way.

We do not discriminate. If you want to learn tea, you're friends of ours. Group, couples or singles. Doesn't matter!

The short answer is: only in places with Western bathrooms. :)

Seriously though, our tour is in a developing part of the nation and so when we're in the big cities, it'll be a hotel with similar standard as a Radisson Blu, but as we're touring Assam, we get to stay in heritage bungalows built by the British.

The advantage is you really feel like you're walking in living history! All are safe, have guards and comfy beds. Promise!

Tea tourism is for the adventurous! The person who would get the most from this tour is someone who is passionate about tea, having/wanting a tea business, who appreciates history and/or someone in a parallel industry (wine, coffee, ci**rs, spirits, chocolate, etc.) who wishes to truly understand tea to add to their knowledge.

This isn't a pass-through 'take pretty pictures' tour. This hands-on training is an intensive that we know you'll love!

Our Story

Janam Tea has always been about procuring and sharing India's best teas-from all over the country. It started as an online store in 2004 and the first tea shop in the Western Hemisphere was opened by Janam in 2005. Though the original store has since closed, we now serve Janam Tea at Garfunkel’s so people can get acquainted with incredible teas from India and have the most luxurious time in the process. For more information about Garfunkel’s or to reserve a spot for cocktails, head over to garfunkelsnyc.com. It’s the most beautiful speakeasy you enter through The Burgary. We welcome any discussion related to Indian Tea, Specialty Food, Afternoon Tea or anything that sounds both delicious and delightful. For our former customers, please do make yourselves known-you'll always get the VIP spot!
