At the foothills of the Darjeeling Hills and far north in Bengal, our two twin estates, Kartick, and the title estate, Rydak, produce some of the sub-continent’s most heartening cups, having dominated the corporate landscape for years as a mean No. 1 at auctions.

Life at Rydak is simple. In the preservation of our cultural practices, courtesies and philosophies of from the old days, Rydak, through many political, corporate and ideological changes, has stood firm in its belief- there’s no work like teamwork. It is in the many layers of corporates and workers that freely, wonderfully and patriotically affiliate to every cup we make, that we find our long-lived, and evergreen, purpose.
