Bira Tea Plantation Private Limited

We are located right in Siliguri, up on the third floor of the Orchid Square building on S.F. Road. It’s a busy part of town, and being in the Darjeeling district means tea is always on everyone's mind. Our office isn't very large, but it’s where all the decisions for the plantation happen. We have desks covered in samples from the latest pickings and maps of the fields spread out everywhere. Downstairs, the street is always noisy with traffic and people, but up here it’s a bit more focused. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to the managers out at the plantation and trying to figure out the logistics of getting the leaves to the buyers. It’s not all just sitting at desks though; we are often running back and forth with paperwork and checking on shipments. The air conditioning works most of the time, which is a blessing in the Siliguri heat. We aren't a big corporate giant with hundreds of employees. It’s just a handful of us making sure the tea gets handled properly. Sometimes the elevators in the building are slow, so we end up taking the stairs, which is good exercise I guess. We keep things pretty straightforward and don’t go in for anything too flashy. It’s just about getting the tea from the soil to the cup without any fuss or trouble.
