    Assam Entrepreneur to Launch Tea named after Ahom General Lachit Borphukan

    Mr Ranjit Baruah has worked in the tea sector for nearly two decades before becoming an entrepreneur.

    Digital Desk: An Assam-based entrepreneur is all set to launch a tea brand named after commander in the Ahom kingdom Lachit Borphukan. The tea brand, blended by the director of a tea start-up Aromica Tea Ranjit Baruah, will be launched in New Delhi on November 24 during the celebrations to mark the 400th birth anniversary of the Ahom General, in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are likely to participate. Mr Baruah claims that this tea brand is as strong as Veer Lachit, who is an epitome of courage, valour, strength and dedication, just like the tea which is loaded with strong Assam character, robust liquor and excellent taste. He also says that the pack of Strong Assam Tea reflects the character and strength of the brave commander, who is known for his leadership in the 1671 Battle of Saraighat in which the Mughals were defeated.

    Mr Ranjit Baruah has worked in the tea sector for nearly two decades before becoming an entrepreneur. Aromica Tea currently has over 50 varieties of value-added teas. Baruah made headlines when he launched a CTC tea named after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to honour his valour and courage in the face of Russian invasion and tea packed in a plantable seed packet with an aim to combat threatened biodiversity and climate change earlier this year.

    While assuring that Bir Lachit tea is strong and satisfying, Baruah hopes that this new tea brand will soon gain popularity in India as well as abroad.
