Our Story

We Started Ricwell Because Launching a Tea Brand Shouldn't Feel Impossible.

Born in Darjeeling, Built for the World.

We're based in Darjeeling — one of the world's most celebrated tea origins, protected by Geographical Indication (GI) status — and that's no accident. From here, we've built direct sourcing relationships across Darjeeling, Assam, Bihar, and the Dooars, giving us producer access and provenance credibility that most private label partners simply can't offer. That origin advantage flows into every batch we help you build.

We've Helped Founders Just Like You.

From first-time founders with nothing but an idea, to established businesses expanding into tea, to creators launching a branded line with zero inventory — we work with people at every stage of building a tea brand. What they all have in common is a product worth believing in. We help them make it real.

Meet Our Founder

Ricwell was founded by Richa Gurung, who was born and raised in Darjeeling and has spent over 10 years immersed in the region's tea culture. That's not a marketing angle — it's where the Origin Advantage actually comes from. Every sourcing relationship we lean on today started long before Ricwell did.

A Women-Led Team

Ricwell is a women-led business — 90% of our team are women, working across sourcing, blending, and client-facing roles. It shapes how we work as much as it does who we are.

End-to-End — So Nothing Falls Through the Cracks.

We didn’t want to be just another branding agency or just another logistics company. Ricwell covers the full journey — tea sourcing, blending, packaging, compliance, and fulfilment — because we know how easily things break down when those pieces aren’t connected.

Your Success Is How We Measure Ours.

We’re not here to hand you a logo and wish you luck. We stay involved, ask the right questions, and genuinely care about whether your brand lands well in the market. When you grow, we grow — and that’s exactly how we like it.

Quality That Comes With a Story.

Every tea we source has a provenance — a garden, an estate, a grade. That authenticity isn't just good for marketing; it's what makes your brand genuinely different in a crowded market. We help you find that story and tell it well.

Designed for People New to Tea.

Most of our private label and dropshipping clients have never launched a tea product before — and that's completely fine. We've designed our process to be clear, guided, and founder-friendly at every step. No jargon, no assumptions, no being made to feel like you should already know this stuff.

We'd love to hear what you're working on.

Whether you have a fully formed idea or just the beginning of one — reach out and let's have a conversation. No pressure, no hard sell.
