About Us
Our relationship with the tea industry started way back in the 1950's and is still running
strong for more than 8 decades.
Our Grandfather Late Shri Alexander Rayan partnered with three of his friends and established a firm
in the name of M/s. Stella Tea Company. One of the most famous brands in the tea industry during
that period - 'Double Rose Tea' was created and owned by this erstwhile Partnership Firm.
In the year 1958 Late Shri A J Rayan the eldest son of Late Shri Alexander Rayan started M/s Maria
Tea Stores and created a new tea brand in the name of 'Spot Tea' in the very same year.
Through the years the brand has evolved through various stages and is now manufactured and
marketed by M/s Maria & Co., a proprietary concern run by the eldest son of Late Shri A J Rayan and
the Grandson of Late Shri Alexander Rayan.
Our blend is sourced from the finest gardens of north eastern valleys of India from Upper Assam,
Siliguri as well as from other north eastern states, consisting of a mix of old plantations and of new
ones to attain that unique taste, tang, strength and flavour. The long experience gained since
childhood in the tea industry has helped us to maintain a consistent blend quality.
The Spot Tea Dust Brand is a blend of Dust, PD, CD, OF and BP grades which is ideally suited both for
domestic as well as commercial use. Similarly our Spot Tea Leaf Brand is a mix of BOP, BOPSM, BP,
OF and Orthodox long leaf grades which gives a unique taste for the discerning tea lovers.
Knowledge about quality tea producing areas in Assam as well as Siliguri and the long association
with our trusted suppliers help us to source the best teas at the right season and right price.
The quality of our blends speak for themselves through our Brand 'SPOT TEA' available in different
packages in both Dust and Leaf grades.
