Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea

Brooke Bond Taj Mahal is a premium brand of Indian tea, first introduced in 1966 by Brooke Bond & Company. It was the first premium tea brand launched in India, specifically marketed for its superior aroma and golden color, often associated with Hindustani classical music in its iconic advertising campaigns.

Historically, the brand belonged to the British company Brooke Bond, which was founded in Manchester, England, in 1869. Over several decades of corporate mergers, the brand became a flagship product for Hindustan Unilever. Today, it is recognized as a staple of Indian tea culture, consistently maintaining its position as a high-quality blend sourced primarily from tea estates in Assam.

The global ownership of the brand lies with Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. In the Indian market, the product is manufactured and distributed by Hindustan Unilever Limited, a major subsidiary of Unilever. The manufacturing process is concentrated in India to ensure the freshness of the regionally sourced tea leaves.
