Ashis Tea Traders

Ashis Tea Traders is based at 135, S. F. Road. Being in the Darjeeling district, we are right in the heart of tea country. Our shop on S. F. Road is where we handle all our trading. It’s a small place, packed with samples and ledgers. We spend most of our time tasting different teas and talking to suppliers. It’s a noisy street, and there’s always something happening outside our door. We don't use a lot of fancy technology; we still prefer writing things down and talking to people face-to-face. Our business is built on these long-term relationships. We aren't a big company with many branches. It’s just us here at number 135. Some seasons are better than others, depending on how the weather treats the tea bushes. We've seen good years and bad ones, but we’ve stayed put. People know where to find us if they want to talk about tea. We don’t have a website that’s updated every day or any of that. We just focus on the tea that comes in and out of our warehouse. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from morning till night. If you’re ever walking down S. F. Road, you’ll likely smell the tea before you see our sign. We’ve been doing this for a long time and don't plan on stopping. Our front window is a bit small, so it stays a little dark inside. We've got a heavy iron safe for the important papers.
