Sreekal Tea Plantations Private Limited

Down in Thattapallam, specifically in the Gottacombai area, you will find our tea plantation. Sreekal Tea Plantations Private Limited is mostly about the land and the plants. We spend a lot of time outdoors checking on the rows of tea and dealing with the weather. It is quiet up here compared to the towns. We have a small group of people who work the fields and manage the leaves once they are picked. It isn't a high-tech operation. We rely on the rain and the soil to do most of the work for us. Some days are long, especially when the harvest is heavy, but that is the nature of farming. We have our small office on the property where we handle the paperwork and talk to the buyers. It’s a bit out of the way, so you have to know where you are going to find us. We don't have a storefront or anything like that for tourists. It’s just a working plantation. We grow the tea, process it, and send it off. The hills are nice to look at, but for us, it is just our daily workplace. We've been at it for a while now and we know the rhythms of the seasons. It’s a simple life focused on the ground and what grows out of it. We just keep at it day after day. We don't really have time for much else besides the crops. It's a lot of work to keep the plants healthy and productive.
