South India Tea & Coffee Estates Ltd.

We are located at 437-D in the Industrial Area of Bikampady. It’s a busy part of town with a lot of trucks moving in and out all day long. Our space is more of a working facility than anything else. South India Tea & Coffee Estates Ltd. handles the tea and coffee that comes in from the estates. There are usually big sacks stacked up against the walls, and the air always has that heavy, earthy smell of dry leaves and beans. It’s a dusty environment, so we are always cleaning something. The work is physical, moving crates and checking the stock to make sure everything is where it belongs. We’ve been in Bikampady for years and have seen many businesses come and go around us. We don't have a fancy showroom or anything for visitors to look at. Most of our day is spent in the warehouse area or the small office space we partitioned off. The heat can get pretty bad in the middle of the day, especially with the metal roof, but we just keep the fans going and get on with it. We deal with suppliers and transport guys mostly. It’s about getting the product moved from point A to point B without too much trouble. It’s honest work and it keeps a lot of people busy here. We just show up, do the job, and make sure the gates are locked tight. It's just what we do every day.
