About Us
Fresh from the hills. Straight to your cup.
At Forest Brews, we believe great tea doesn’t need a fancy label; just fresh leaves, honest pricing, and people who care.
Forest Brews started in the hills, but it’s brewed its way into homes and businesses that know the value of a strong, satisfying cup; no frills, just flavour.
The Story
Forest Brews Tea began in 1993, tucked into the lush greenery of the Nilgiris. Back then, our founder Mr. P.S. Mahendran believed something simple — that good tea doesn’t need to come with a middleman, a fancy label, or a high price tag. Just fresh leaves, clean blends, and consistency you could count on.
Three decades later, that belief still drives everything we do.
Today, Forest Brews is run by Jayanthi M., who carries forward the same legacy with care and grit. We now offer tea for both homes and businesses — from strong hotel blends and bold masala chai, to light green teas and made-to-order custom mixes.
What We Believe In
Fresh from the hills. Straight to your cup.
Zero Middlemen, Just Good Tea
We grow it, we pack it, we price it. That means you get high-quality tea at a fair price — no commissions, no fancy markups. Just real tea, from real people.
Value You Can Taste
Our teas don’t cut corners. Every blend is full-bodied, full-flavored, and affordable enough to brew every day — because great tea shouldn’t be a luxury.
Hill-Grown. Heart-Picked.
Our leaves are picked by hand on highland slopes, where the mist meets the mountains. Every cup carries the spirit of the land and the people who tend to it.
30 Years of Legacy
From a single factory to hundreds of happy brews a day.
We’ve spent three decades working directly with farmers, perfecting blends, and making sure good tea reaches the people who truly love it — without the layers, delays, or markup.
