Tea has always been a staple in our household. We’ve tried countless brands over the years, each with its own unique taste and character. My mom used to buy Tata Tea or Red Label. But it’s been Society Tea that has truly won us all over.
What sets Society Tea apart is its consistent quality. I have always felt that tea companies somehow switch the quality within a year or two and things change. But with Society tea, the taste is always rich and flavorful, and the aroma is simply delightful. I have noticed that it doesn’t leave a bitter aftertaste, which is a common issue with many other Indian brands. Plus, it’s surprisingly affordable without compromising on quality. I would like to mention that flavored tea are a bit on expensive side but they are almost on par with any other brand in the market like Tata and Brooke Bond.
I prefer the leaf tea over the dust variant. I find the flavor to be more robust and satisfying. The packaging is also practical – the airtight packets keep the tea fresh for a long time. At my home we use two variants of Society Tea – the blue packet one, which is simple tea, and a red packet one, which is masala tea.
To get the best flavor, my mother usually boils water, let it cool slightly, and then pour it over the tea leaves. She lets it steep for about 3-4 minutes before straining. Avoid using metal containers to store your tea, as it can affect the taste.
Now, I know many people add milk and sugar to their tea, but I prefer mine black. My mother and father prefer it with milk. And it works perfectly with both variants. There is a reason why I prefer without milk. Tea is packed with antioxidants, which are great for your health. Milk can actually reduce these benefits.
Overall, I am really happy with Society Tea. It’s become a daily staple in my life, and I recommend it to everyone who loves a good cuppa. If you have any favorite tea brand, please share in the comments, I would love to try it.

I have never tried this, but they seem to have a good variety of products, such as pre-mix tea and masala tea. But they are not selling premix teas (including milk powder) where you just add water, right? I am thinking if they have ready to drink varieties like Wagh Bakri or Girnar?
They are selling premixes. I forgot to mention but my first encounter with Society brand was with premix Eliachi tea and Coffee. They have Masala, Eliachi, Coffee and even Haldi Doodh premixes. I have only tried two of them. You can only try their instant ice teas, they are superb in flavor and taste.
I always follow a small technique with all these branded items,just mix 100 grams of any two branded tea packets with 100 grams of tea leaves keep this in an airtight container and use it .You will get an aromatic delicious tea.
Yes, my mother used to do it because when we use branded teas, we have to use it in more quantity to get desired color. But my mother used to mix local tea which has smaller particles with the branded ones, and then the quantity of usage became lesser and we could use half kg throughout the month. May be it is just a village thing.
We tried this after watching their tv ads. The flavour is very similar to Tata Tea Gold (partially leaf tea) but costlier.
Unlike what you may hear, this tea is not “strong”. Usually cheaper teas are stronger. Expensive tea is more aroma and less strong. So you will not get the taste of tea shop tea. Most shops use cheap tea that is made from inferior leaves and hence strong.
Yes, I have not particularly tried their normal tea, but their flavored teas – masala and eliachi both are so good. I haven’t seen a brand perfect the ratio of every ingredient so well. It isn’t overpowering or underwhelming, just the right mix with right balance.
I actually mix society tea with wagh bakri 50 50 it gives a nice balance society on its own feels too mild for my taste and wagh bakri alone gets bitter if you over boil this combo somehow works perfect for strong color and decent aroma without bitterness.
That is an interesting blend. I can totally see how combining Society with Wagh Bakri would give you that strength and color without going overboard on the bitterness. Society on its own definitely leans toward a more refined flavor, while Wagh Bakri packs a stronger punch. This mix-and-match method is actually pretty underrated—it lets you customize your tea to suit your taste exactly. I might just try your combination next time and see how it compares to our usual blue-red packet mix.
