  • Translating to mean 'safety' and 'bond', Raksha Bandhan is an age-old observed ritual that celebrates the unbreakable ties of siblings. Popularly, observed between brothers and sisters, the ritual, however, transcends and encapsulates all relationships that one holds dear and wishes to protect.

The stories from Vedic times illustrate this very notion of universal love that wishes the other's well-being. We are sharing with you, a few stories of Raksha Bandhan which evoke the meaning of the ritual.

For us at Teabox, on this occasion, we promise to protect the earth and its rich resources. What is your Raksha Bandhan pledge? Drop your answers in the comments below👇.

  • PART 2:

Dinacharya: Ayurvedic evening self-care routine

With the chaos of the day, it can be difficult to unwind at night. To make sure you have a good night's rest to look forward to, the Ayurvedic Evening Routine ritual is an invaluable practice after a busy day.

Just like how @shoonyao walked us through her morning self-care routine, she again shares a glimpse of her evening ritual. After a long day of endless meetings, calls, and brainstorming sessions, she includes a cup of Rasayana Ayurvedic Chai to unwind.

What helps us to unwind in the evenings? Do share with us in the comments below👇. Also, drop a ❤️ if our chais are a part of your evening tea time.

  • Dinacharya: Ayurvedic morning self-care routine

Consisting of small simple daily actions, the routine is a set of practices that cleanses the body of toxins and rejuvenates the senses. 'Din' means 'day' and 'Acharaya' means 'behavior'. Practicing these simple routines helps you to regulate your body clock and balances your doshas.

As our Rajasik Ayurvedic Chai is inspired by the recipes found in ancient Vedic scriptures, it fits in perfectly with @shoonyao 's morning self-care routine.

  • KALPANA IS TRAVELLING!✈️

Since we launched our campaign- Handpicked with Love by Kalpana, the response we have received has been overwhelming. But, the response did not end with emails and messages.
We have received quite a lot of images, where our tea drinkers have been happy to pose with Kalpana. 🤚

We are proud of all the places that Kalpana has traveled in such a short time. 🤩

If you love her travel photo dump drop a ❤️ in the comments 👇

  • Back in 2019 we had commissioned these artworks to one of our dear friend @bolartoons with a vision to celebrate our Indian tea industry. 

In 2021, when we rebranded ourselves we used these illustrations as a part of our single estate packaging to tell their stories and bring attention to the 3.5 million Indian tea pluckers. 

And in 2022, we created Kalpana ( a small doll made by an NGO in Darjeeling) an embodiment of these hard working pluckers who while singing joyfully make the plucking process look so effortless. 

We are giving away these dolls with every order of ours. If you have got one, please share by tagging #kalpana to help us share their story to more tea lovers. 

If you love the illustration and our Kalpana, drop a ❤️ in the comments 👇
