Discover Our Story
At House of Merchants, we believe that trade is more than just the exchange of goods — it is a bridge between cultures, traditions, and people. Guided by our ethos “Blending Cultures through Trade,” we specialize in sourcing, trading, exporting, and distributing premium food and agricultural commodities across domestic and international markets.​ ​
Tea lies at the heart of our story. Our founders come from families that have been deeply rooted in the Indian tea industry for generations — with decades of experience spanning estate cultivation and the vibrant world of bought leaf trade. Building on this rich heritage, we engage in the careful selection, blending, packaging, and global export of a diverse range of teas — from robust CTC to delicate orthodox and rare single-origin varieties. Every blend we create is a reflection of our commitment to quality, authenticity, and innovation.
With deep respect for tradition and a forward-looking approach, House of Merchants strives to foster meaningful connections through every trade we make — connecting growers, artisans, and consumers across the world.
