Our Story: From Wall Street to Your Kitchen - The Journey of Tesva Coffee

Our journey begins with a curious college student, Arjun, who found himself in the bustling city of New York, dressed in his best suit, ready to interview for a position at Citibank. As Arjun navigated through the complexities of financial markets during his interview, the discussion intriguingly veered towards commodities—specifically, coffee. The conversation illuminated the vast world of coffee trading and the pivotal role it plays in global economics.

This revelation sparked a newfound fascination in Arjun. He learned about the different beans, the various processes, and how each step from farm to cup added value and flavor. As he walked the vibrant streets of New York, sipping on uniquely crafted brews from local coffee houses, the idea began to brew in his own mind: why not bring this world of premium, global flavors back to India?

Upon returning to India, Arjun, driven by his passion for coffee and gourmet foods, launched Munchbag.in. The website started as a portal to offer an array of imported food items that were hard to find in the local markets. From the sophisticated flavors of Starbucks and the rich, luxurious espresso of Nespresso to the authentic Italian charm of Lavazza, Munchbag.in became a gateway to the world through taste.

Munchbag.in quickly gained popularity, becoming a favored destination for food aficionados across India who were eager to indulge in international cuisine and coffee. Encouraged by the success and the growing love for quality coffee among Indians, Arjun saw an opportunity to take his venture a step further.

Drawing inspiration from his experiences and the knowledge gained from his customers' preferences, Arjun embarked on a new adventure: creating his own coffee brand, Tesva Coffee. Tesva, meaning 'vigor' or 'energy' in Sanskrit, was developed to embody the spirit of awakening and renewal that a great cup of coffee represents. Arjun worked with coffee growers and roasters to ensure that Tesva Coffee offered the finest blend of beans, each roasted to highlight its unique profile and flavor.

Today, Tesva Coffee stands as a testament to the journey from a simple idea in a corporate interview room in New York to a beloved brand in kitchens across India. It is not just a coffee; it's a story in every sip—a story of passion, discovery, and the joy of sharing the world's flavors with everyone.

At Munchbag.in, our mission extends beyond selling products. We aim to bring a piece of the world into your homes, one cup at a time, while inspiring others to follow their dreams, no matter how bold or ambitious they may seem. Join us on this delicious journey, and let's make every day a little more flavorful together.
