Surya Tea Pvt. Ltd.

We are tucked away in Madapoi, Marcel, right near the Sakholyo Temple. It’s a much quieter spot compared to the big industrial zones, and you can often hear the temple bells in the morning. We deal with tea, so the whole building usually smells like dried leaves, which is quite nice actually. We spend our time blending and packing tea into different sized bags for the shops. It’s a simple process but it requires a lot of attention to make sure the taste stays right. We have a few old machines that have been working hard for years. Our staff is mostly people from around the village who walk or bike to work. It’s not a high-pressure corporate environment. We take our breaks together and talk about the local news or how the crops are doing. When the rain comes down heavy in Goa, the roof makes a lot of noise, and we sometimes have to stop and wait it out. We don't have a marketing department or a fancy showroom. If someone wants to buy our tea, they usually just come to the side door or find it in the local markets. We’ve been here for a while and the business has grown slowly and naturally. It’s a good life, working with something as simple as tea in a place as peaceful as Marcel. We just try to keep the flavors consistent and the bags moving out on time.
