Frequently Asked Questions
About Kohinoor Tea Company
The Kohinoor Tea Company Limited is a centennial tea company incorporated on 30 December 1914 and headquartered in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal — India's premier tea-growing district. With over 110 years of uninterrupted operations in the heart of the Dooars-Terai tea belt, the company represents one of the oldest heritage tea enterprises in North Bengal. Jalpaiguri district, where the company is based, is the administrative centre of West Bengal's tea country. The Dooars and Terai regions of North Bengal account for approximately one-third of India's total tea production, producing primarily CTC (Crush-Tear-Curl) teas consumed across India and exported to major markets. The company's registered office at Kohinoor Building, Thana Road, Jalpaiguri reflects its deep roots in this tea-trading hub. The company operates with a modest capital structure — authorised share capital of ₹6 Lakh — suggesting it functions as a closely held estate management or tea trading entity rather than a large-scale producer. Many pre-independence tea companies in North Bengal had small capitalisation structures that were never revised, while their actual asset and revenue bases may be more substantial through long-term estate ownership. The Kohinoor Tea Company has survived through over a century of transformations in the Indian tea industry — from colonial plantation economics to post-independence regulation under the Tea Act, and more recently the emergence of branded tea retail. Its persistence as an active entity reflects either ongoing cultivation or trading operations in the Jalpaiguri area. As a heritage unlisted tea company from India's premier tea-growing belt, Kohinoor Tea represents a niche investment in Bengal's plantation legacy.
