About us

The Tyford Story

Tyford Tea Estate lies within the quaint serenity of the Western Ghats of Southern India. The luscious property is set 3,000 feet above sea level, secluded between greener mountains, sprawling over 1,255 Ha. The now known plantation, commenced its journey in 1860, with the pioneer planters cultivating tea and particularly gathering popularity for its quality of tea.
We are now the proud producers of 1.25 million kg of CTC grade tea in our state of the art manufacturing facility while being positioned as a supplier and recently as a retailer for our home-grown brand. The estate also grows other condiments such as cardamom, pepper, clove, nutmeg and such, along with freshly roasted beans of coffee. At Tyford, we lead with passion to deliver quality and consistency across all our deliverables, while continuously empowering our employees to contribute towards their success and consequently ours.

The History

The faint origins of the Tyford Estate can be traced back to a bygone century, where the entire region was planted with coffee in the year 1860. However, by the year 1885, the vast land and its surrounding property were converted into tea plantations. The incorporation of the Tyford Estate is accredited to Mr Henry Baker in the year 1915 which was then, taken over by our honourable Mr M.A Abraham, the founder of Aban group in 1993. By being the foremost tea producer, we built our reputation as one of the top-ranking estates in Southern India.

How We Work

We are astute and determined planters with a strong team of experienced personnel committed to steering forward towards excellence. Our mission is encrusted with the staunch motivation to produce superior quality tea, and provide ample variety in them to cater to the likes and tastes of every consumer. To ensure the best in our endeavours, we continually assess taste, blend, and grade of our products to guarantee that every granule retains its unique flavour, grown in the contours of the Western Ghats.
