Long before tea became the world’s favorite beverage, India was already steeping healing herbs into warm, fragrant brews. Our ancestors called them kadhas-simple infusions made from tulsi, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and other treasures from nature. These drinks were not just for taste-they were part of daily rituals, medicine, and prayer.Our mythology tells us that when the gods churned the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan), many treasures were born, including healing plants that carried the power to restore life. Ayurveda grew from this wisdom, teaching that every root, leaf, and flower has a purposewhether to calm the mind, strengthen the body, or purify the soul.For centuries, Indian households have kept this knowledge alive. Tulsi was grown in courtyards and worshipped as a guardian of health. Ginger was prized as the “universal healer,” warming the body and keeping illness away. Rose petals were offered in devotion and brewed to soothe emotions. Cardamom and cinnamon added fragrance and vitality to every cup, turning simple drinks into moments of comfort.At Archen, we carry this heritage forward. Our health teas are crafted with the same intention-bringing together pure herbs, flowers, and spices to support digestion, boost immunity, and bring calm to a busy mind. We believe that tea is not just a drink but a ritual of self-care, a pause in the day to reconnect with yourself and with nature.When you sip Archen tea, you aren’t just drinking-you are experiencing centuries of tradition. You are tasting stories passed down through generations, embracing a time when life was simpler, slower, and deeply connected to the earth.Our mission is to make that connection possible again, one soothing cup at a time.
