Santosh Tea Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Up here at 83/A Grays Hills in Bedfort, the air feels a bit different. It’s a hilly area and the roads wind around quite a bit to get to us. Our building is an old industrial spot that’s seen a lot of seasons. We process tea here, so there is always the hum of machinery in the background. It’s not a quiet place during the day, but you get used to the rhythm of the motors and the sound of the leaves being moved around. The windows are large but they get a bit foggy when it rains outside, which happens quite often in the hills. We have a small staff and most of us have been here for a long time. We wear heavy aprons and boots because the floor can get a bit damp. It’s a lot of manual work, checking the tea by hand and making sure the drying process is going right. We don't have a fancy lobby for visitors, just a small door that leads straight into the work area. Sometimes the trucks have a hard time getting up the hill when it’s muddy, so we have to go out and help. It’s a practical, hard-working environment where we just focus on the task at hand. We don't talk much about missions or visions, we just make sure the tea is ready for the crates and everything is packed up for the next trip down.
