Why Elixir
What you get in every tin
A layered cup, no bitterness
Whole leaf opens slowly in hot water: aroma, then body, then a lingering finish. Our Orthodox has no bitterness, so drink it black.
More cups per gram
Whole leaves can often be steeped twice, so every gram goes further.
Your money reaches the makers
Karbi women artisans are paid directly, with no middleman, above the local market rate.
A tin that stays
A premium reusable tin that stays in the kitchen long after the last cup, not a flimsy pouch.
Free shipping across India
Delivered to your door in 3–7 days, anywhere in India.
