M I Dhang Tea Process Private Limited

Up in Chikodi, on Rashiwadekar Galli, you’ll find us at No. 1809. This is where M I Dhang Tea Process Private Limited handles all the tea work. It’s a modest building in a part of town where everyone knows each other. We spend our time with tea leaves—sorting them, drying them, and getting them ready for people to drink. It’s a dusty job, and your clothes always end up smelling like tea by the end of the shift. We don’t have a big marketing team or a fancy website. Most of our business happens because we’ve been here for a long time and people know what we do. The space inside is mostly taken up by bags of tea and the machines we use for processing. It’s not a high-tech lab; it’s a practical workspace where we rely on our experience to get things right. The weather in Chikodi can be a bit unpredictable, which sometimes makes it hard to dry the leaves properly, but we manage. We aren't trying to change the world or anything like that. We just want to produce decent tea and keep the business running for the folks who work here. Every morning we start early, checking the latest batches and making sure the packaging is done correctly. It’s a lot of repetitive work, but there’s a certain rhythm to it that we all appreciate as we go about our tasks.
