Navathara Tea Centre

Started the shop in B K Bazar Colony quite a few years back. Most mornings here in Balaji Nagar start pretty early because that is when people want their first cup. We have the stove going almost all day at 3-69-92. It is not a very big place, just enough to get the work done and keep the stock dry. People from around the colony stop by, some stay to talk and others just grab what they need for their kitchens. We don't have any fancy signs or anything like that. Just the name Navathara on the front. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded when the weather is nice, but we manage. My brother helps out with the heavy lifting and sorting the different grades of tea we keep in the back. We try to keep things organized but with all the bags moving in and out, there is always a bit of dust. It is just how it is in this line of work. We know most of the neighbors by name now. If you are walking down the main lane in B K Bazar, you can usually smell the leaves before you even see the door. We don't do much besides tea, so we stay focused on that one thing. It keeps us busy enough from sunrise until we close up late in the evening. Just a normal local spot doing what we know how to do.
