“Tea bag se bag hi hata diya! Woolah ne chai ko diya ek bagless twist—kya ye idea Sharks ko bhi pasand aaya?”
- Founder: Upamanyu Borkakoty
- Product: Bagless Tea Dip
- Business Model: D2C + B2B
- Founded in: January 2021
- Headquarters: Assam
Assam ke Upamanyu Borkakoty ne tea drinking ko different banane ke liye Woolah Bagless Tea Dip develop kiya. Traditional tea bag ki jagah Woolah organic tea leaves ko compress karke ek compact bunch banata hai, jiske saath organic cotton thread attached hota hai.
Use karna simple hai—dip ko cup mein daaliye, boiling water add kijiye aur 4–5 minutes wait kijiye. Ek dip ko 2–3 times reuse bhi kiya ja sakta hai.
Woolah organic tea leaves ko small-scale organic tea brewers se source karta hai aur 100+ rural women ke saath kaam karta hai. Company ke according, ek single teabag 1,160 crore microplastic particles release kar sakta hai. Isi concern ko address karne ke liye Woolah ne bagless approach develop ki.
Initial square-shaped prototype easily break hota tha, isliye company ne cylindrical design develop kiya. Flavours bhi packaging stage par organic extracts se add kiye ja sakte hain.
Woolah ka patent India, USA aur UK mein pending hai.
