Change in Guard
Raj Barooah
Raj took over the reins of running the family tea business in 1991, and since then has been evolving the business to make it sustainable, community focussed, moving away from traditional ways to innovating and developing a range of artisanal whole leaf teas.
New Beginnings
Rujani Tea is Born
In 2013, the tea farmer family of Aideobari Tea Estates Pvt Ltd, decides to venture into a new range of speciality loose-leaf teas.
The name Rujani is a family name and was chosen to spearhead this new identity of Aideobari. It's motto is to spread the awareness of loose-leaf tea made with care in small batches, and move away from the commoditised tea bags, and to really enjoy the benefits of speciality teas from Assam.
Recognition
First Global Award
The International Specialty Tea Association (ISTA) hosted its inaugural awards program on June 16, 2016 with a spectacular seven-course gourmet meal and tea pairing event, at the Alize Restaurant of the Palms Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas.
Founder Austin Hodge presented the first ISTA awards for promoting Specialty Tea standards in the industry. Raj received the award on behalf of the Rujani and Aideobari team.

Silver Pearl - my new addiction, watching the pearls unfurl is so calming. Fragrant, soft and so drinkable.
Thanks again, a new devoTEA,
Leanne Blandford
Your Muscatel was a fantastic camping companion. Even with extended steeping, its never became too astringent and it could still be re-steeped a couple of times. Thanks for a great tea.
- Cheryl Teo, Melbourne Tea Sommelier
The orders will follow my continued slurping of your wonderful brews.
Best regards,
David and Rhonda Nickson
I am enjoying it (Signature White). It has a floral warmth that is a nice substitute for my usual green teas I like in the morning. Perfect for the cooler days.
