Our Story
Bakshi Sligo began not as a business idea, but as a shared dream between two people — me and Ashish — who believed in building something meaningful together. Growing up in India, tea was never just a drink. It was part of daily life — served to guests, shared with family, and offered during moments of connection. Tea meant comfort, warmth, and welcome. When we moved to Ireland, we discovered something beautiful — the Irish share the same love for tea. Whether in homes, cafés, guesthouses, or hotels, tea plays an important role in hospitality and everyday life. That realization sparked an idea. What if we could bring the richness of Indian tea traditions into Irish hospitality? What if we could create a brand that represents not just tea — but connection, culture, and warmth? Bakshi Sligo was born from that vision. It began with small steps — researching teas, working with suppliers, designing packaging, and planning how to introduce our teas into homes and hospitality businesses across Ireland. We started with sampler boxes, not just as products — but as invitations. Invitations for people to discover flavours, experience culture, and build connections through tea. Bakshi Sligo represents our journey — from India to Ireland — blending tradition, passion, and ambition into something lasting. And this is just the beginning.
