Herbal Tea

In India, more than 87% of people consume herbal tea on a daily basis. But do you know? these frequent drinkers of tea are continuously dosing themselves with billions of plastic particles. If you are thinking that is it possible, then yes!

The tea bags and the packaging of tea contain nearly 13000 tiny plastic particles in their sealant. These plastic particles are added to seal these tea bags but still get mixed while we brew the tea. With this unavoidable health hazard, should we discontinue drinking tea? Well, this feels like heartbreak.

But this couple from Delhi brings you a vast variety of loose-leaf herbal tea with their brand, “Dolshyne”. With their vision to make tea premium and healthy for everyone, Dolshyne brings you micro-plastic-free flavoured herbal tea, coffees and tisanes.

The Couple shines with “Dolshyne”

Dolshyne” is a premium online boutique beverage store by Realyon Ventures LLP. Raahuul and Gauri first established their company, Realyon Ventures in July 2021 and through their company, they co-founded this brand in October 2021. The brand name, “Dolshyne” is derived from an Indian spice “Daalchini”. Well, this name inspired by an Indian spice definitely adds up to the flavour.

The story of this brand started when Raahuul and his wife Gauri moved to India from Dubai. Raahuul’s love for herbal tea led him to do research on different flavours of tea in Dubai. When they both lost their job during COVID-19. Raahuul decided to put his research and love for loose-leaf herbal tea to work with the support of his wife, Gauri

This brand is specialised in herbal and exotic flavoured green teas. The brand started with six tea flavours and now its portfolio has 14 herbal teas and 6 coffees. Each herbal tea and coffee is an aromatic unique blend sourced from different parts of the world such as Dubai, Darjiling and Assam. Without compromising with the quality and taste, Dolshyne brings you the selected range of extraordinary loose-leaf tea and coffee.

Secret Ingredient of making “Dolshyne”

The inspiration behind Dolshyne is the innovative mind of Raahuul who wanted the best flavoured tea blend added to his family’s morning ritual. With his keen desire, he started his quest and explored the various fusions of herbs and teas to elevate his family’s experience. His exploration led to the laying of the foundation of Dolshyne.

Our blends are artistically crafted and the discovery of each blend has taken more than one year. I recall sipping Turkish tea in Dubai and conducting a number of experiments in order to recreate the joys of Turkish tea in India.

Raahuul

With the aim of expanding the limited version of tea and adding benefits of health, Raahuul handpicked the best and most extraordinary herbal tea fusion. He went on tasting and exploring the different tastes of various brands and in the passion of creating something unique and unparalleled, Dolshyne was born.

The dedicated journey of this couple to becoming a perfect team for “Dolshyne”

Finding people with same ideology

Raahuul and his wife mentioned that their toughest challenge was getting support and people who understood their startup idea. He explains how tough it was to come across people who shared his “You Grow, We Grow” philosophy. But every struggle comes to an end as the schemes of “Startup India” launched by the government of India helped them a lot.

Investing their own Savings

The founders took no funding as they used their own saved money to initiate the beginning of their brand. However, when determination and passion for our dreams are so strong then no obstacle can hinder the growth of that dream.

Raahuul and Gauri- An United team of two

Raahuul also stated that they have no team for the time being as only he and his wife are working hard to expand their brand. Being a united team of two, they had refurbished their packaging and branding. And now today, their brand is earning 10 times more than their investment. This is a huge milestone for them.

Raahuul and Gauri make a perfect couple but becoming a team for Dolshyne required a conscious effort. On an individual level, both had different opinions and ideologies but for their company, they put their differences aside. They agreed on the decisions and ideas that were important and beneficial for the Dolshyne.

It was easy as well as difficult to manage our personal and professional lives but we both divided our roles and responsibilities and put our company first in the face of any conflicts.

What makes the herbal tea of Dolshyne stand out?

1. Making Micro-Plastic-Free tea by choosing loose-leaf instead of tea bags

Dolshyne’s beverages are one of a kind as they are micro-plastic-free and healthy. Using loose leaves instead of tea bags is a great initiative to minimise the use of plastic. This way we can drink our cup of herbal tea without any fear of consuming plastic.

Choosing Loose Leaf Tea shows Raahuul’s brilliance in his research and goodwill. Loose-leaf is way better than tea bags as loose-leaf tea offers a stronger flavour than bagged tea. The leaves tend to be fresher than bagged leaves which keeps the aroma of the tea alive.

2. Selecting and Curating different flavours of Tea

Dolshyne offers loose-leaf herbal tea which means that their teas are authentic and have richer flavours that too without any fear of plastic. Besides this, the flavour of every tea is a unique fusion of different herbs. Selecting and curating a fusion of these flavours wasn’t an easy task but Raahuul and his wife were on a mission to make tea one of the finest beverages.

Now, they are working on making a new and unimaginable fusion of coffee and tea. There are various flavours that Dolshyne has created such as Fruit and Bloom, Nutri-well Moringa Blue Pea Oasis etc. Every flavour has its own eccentric story.

A Range of Unique Herbal Tea can be found only on Dolshyne

Dolshyne also introduces us to an exclusive kind of tea called Tisane. Tisane is different from normal tea and has richer health benefits. Unlike tea, Tisane is a of kind herbal tea that is an aromatic blend of different plants and herbs. Tisane are caffeine free and they are perfect for the people with anxiety who are not allowed to consume caffeine.

For me, every blend I have crafted is special and choosing the favourite one among these flavours is difficult. But the flavour of Fruit and Bloom is my favourite as creating this blend took 1.5 years.
