The Diwali Hamper

This festive season we wanted to celebrate the little wins, slow living, and all the love that surrounds us. We have tied up with some of our favourite homegrown brands to do so. This hamper includes Mogra Tea by Ahista Tea and 3 tea samples, Incense sticks collection by Phool, Ceramic Cha Khuri (tea cup/kulhad set of 2) from Sienna, a Tiny Acre Broccoli Micro Greens Grow kit, Burlap Coasters (set of 4) and a Bag for Life tote. All these beautiful products are encased in a Hasa Atelier box made out of wild Sabai grass.

About the brands:

Sienna : Sienna acts as a collective of all things handmade and old-world. Born and raised in the narrow lanes of Calcutta, it’s a homegrown brand that tells the story of Bengal through its craft & food design.
It all started in Shantiniketan, a village town about 200km away from the bustling city of Calcutta. Handmade with a mixture of indigenous red clay and China clay, their ceramics are created by local artisans. Painted with lead-free glazes, Sienna pottery carries with it the stories of the hands that mould them.

Ahista Tea : Ahista takes a minimalist approach when infusing tradition and innovation into their teas and tea-related products; which are handmade, timeless, minimal, and sustainable. Their aim is to change the perception of Indian tea culture towards a contemporary interpretation. As a part of the box you will find a Jasmine Green Tea (Mogra) - 100g loose leaf gift box. They’re the only tea brand in India that has a facility dedicated to naturally scenting green tea with Jasmine flowers. It is a labor intensive process that produces small amounts of tea; and repeated rounds of scenting (9 times in total) will multiply its cost. Once they blossom at night, it permeates a beautiful fragrance where the dried green tea leaves naturally absorb aromatic oils. ⁣

Tiny Acre : The folks at TinyAcre want to inculcate the habit of growing your own food in everyone's daily life. Starting your day with some healthy microgreens along with your breakfast would give one enough nutrition to go along their day with a healthy lifestyle. Their aim is to make growing food easy and accessible to every individual. With the kits, one should not just be able to grow food, but also taste freshness, which is absent in our meals. We wish that soon everyone will have a small space in their homes which they would call their own TinyAcre!

Hasa : Hasa is a conscious luxury handicrafts label for the modern Boheme lifestyle made in small quantities with no two pieces exactly alike. The love child of traditional artisan craftmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Hasa embodies the untapped beauty of the district of Mayurbhanj. Each product is uniquely one-of-a-kind and handmade by talented artisans and women self-help groups using only the wild Sabai grass and date leaf.

Phool: Phool is a luxury lifestyle brand that is preserving the Ganges by repurposing temple flowers into organic products. These products are handrolled by 79 women flower cyclers working with Phool, helping empower them by providing alternative means of livelihood.
