The taste of Bansi—gathered from the soil, plated for the world.

For over a decade, BANSI FOOD AND BEVERAGES LIMITED has bridged single-origin estates, master blenders and family kitchens. From first-flush teas to slow-roasted spice blends and small-batch ready-to-drink beverages — every product is built around three quiet promises: traceable sourcing, hand-finished craft, honest taste.

Our Collections

Six pantries, one obsession with quality.

Our Origin

A small kitchen, a long ledger of recipes, and a stubborn belief in slowness.

Bansi began in 2013 as a Mumbai pantry, where founder Aarav Mehra and his grandmother Padma Devi began bottling the family masalas the diaspora kept asking after. Their first export — twelve jars of Sindhi-style garam masala to a Toronto deli — sold out before the kettle had cooled.

A decade later, Bansi is a vertically integrated food and beverage company with sourcing partnerships across seventeen Indian states, blending studios in Mumbai and Pune, and distribution arms in Dubai, London and Singapore — but the editorial board for every recipe is still Padma's bound notebook.

From Field to Pantry

Four steps, zero shortcuts.

Every Bansi product follows the same disciplined route — designed to keep authorship close to the soil, and quality close to the table.

01

Source

Long-term contracts with 240+ smallholder farms and biodynamic estates. Every harvest is field-coded and traceable.

02

Craft

Stone-ground, sun-fermented, cold-pressed — methods chosen by recipe, never by margin. No artificial preservatives.

03

Test

Triple-checked at our ISO 22000 lab — sensory, microbiological and pesticide panels — before any batch is sealed.

04

Deliver

Climate-controlled logistics through certified partners. Every shipment arrives with QR-traceable origin notes.

Voices From the Table

Trusted by chefs, retailers and home cooks.

Bansi's Coastal Garam Masala is the only blend I trust to ship across the Atlantic — the cardamom note holds for months.

We placed our first order of 200 cases in 2019. We now move 14,000 a quarter — the consistency is honestly unusual at this scale.

The first-flush Darjeeling tasted exactly like the cup I drank in Goomtee Estate. That's a stupidly hard thing to bottle.
