Ishwar Tea Company

Ishwar Tea Company is located right on Dr. Kalinath Road. Being in the Darjeeling district, we are surrounded by tea history, but our day-to-day is actually quite ordinary. We have a small shop and warehouse where we keep our supplies. The road gets a bit crowded during the day, but that’s just life here. We’ve been here for a long time, and the building shows its age a little. We don't mind that, as it serves its purpose. We spend our time checking the batches of tea that come down from the hills. It’s a lot of manual labor, shifting bags and checking labels. We don't have a marketing department or a polished website. We just rely on the fact that we've been on Dr. Kalinath Road for years and people know where to find us. Sometimes the weather in Darjeeling makes things difficult, especially during the rains when the dampness is a problem for the leaves. We have to be careful about storage. It’s a constant job of monitoring the inventory. We aren't trying to change the world; we just want to sell good tea to anyone who needs it. The work is steady and keeps us busy. We mostly just talk to locals and regular buyers who have been coming to us for a long time. It’s a straightforward business with no frills. We just do the work and go home.
