In 1947, Tapal started out as a family concern under the personal supervision of its founder, Mr.

Adam Ali Tapal. From this auspicious beginning, Tapal moved from success to success
introducing tea brands to suit every taste and pocket, sold from its retail outlet in Jodia Bazar,
Karachi. For convenience of customers, tea distribution was initiated to retail outlets around the
city. The company continued to grow under the management of the founder's son, Mr. Faizullah
A. Tapal. Today Tapal Tea is managed by the founder's grandson, Mr. Aftab F. Tapal. A well
trained tea taster and tea connoisseur himself, Mr. Aftab Tapal introduced new tea concepts and
developed a wide range of tea blends catering specifically to the tastes of people throughout
Pakistan. His progressive outlook resulted in giving further strength to the foundation of quality
laid by his family. Making a modest beginning over half a century back, today Tapal has become
the largest, 100% Pakistani owned Tea Company in the country. It has modern tea blending and
packaging factories, warehouses equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a team of highly
dynamic professionals headed by Mr. Aftab Tapal himself. The factory is operated by about 250
professional employees, producing various popular and high quality brands of tea that are
distributed across the length and breadth of the country through a network of
distribution/institutions.

Each cup is prepared with pride and carefully presented,

turning even a casual interaction into something special.
Every family prepares a cup of tea in its own unique way. Some add equal measures of milk and
water, and boil the mixture with tea leaves to create an aromatic brew called ‘doodh patti’ or
‘milk tea’. Others prepare it in a tea pot, pouring hot water over tea leaves to create a golden
beverage which is then presented to guests in delicate tea cups. Many people prefer to use tea
bags instead and prepare refreshing mugs of tea on the go. Sugar is added liberally to sweeten the
taste of the country’s favorite beverage and milk is usually added as well.
Tea also holds a starring role in the time honored tradition of welcoming guests. Whether it’s an
office or a home, the first question the host asks a visitor is if they would like a cup of tea. When
it comes to the penultimate occasion of arranging a ‘rishta’ or marriage, then good tea becomes
symbolic of so much more – the bride’s domestic prowess, the tastes and social graces of the
family and subsequent compatibility with the groom and his household.
In fact every occasion, whether solitary or social is enhanced by a steaming cup of tea!
So popular is the beverage in Pakistan, that about over 1 kg of it are utilized per capita every year,
which is one of the highest rates of tea consumption in the world.
