Glen Tea Factory

The factory is situated over in Peermade, right in the Idukki district. We are near the Marine Collage, which is a big landmark for anyone trying to find us. The official address is P/O. Glenmary, and Glen Tea Factory has been operating from this spot for quite a long time. When the machines are running, you can hear them from down the road. It’s a loud place, full of the sounds of sorting and drying. We have a lot of people coming in and out every day, mostly workers and drivers moving the tea. The air inside the factory is always warm and smells like freshly processed leaves. It’s a lot of work to keep everything maintained and running right. We don't have a big polished office; it’s mostly just a desk in the corner with a lot of files and a phone that rings more than it should. Being near Peermade means the scenery is nice, even if we are too busy to look at it most of the time. We just do our job and try to get the batches out when they are ready. There’s no big corporate strategy here, just a lot of practical steps to keep the factory going. We’ve had the same neighbors for years and everyone just gets on with their business. It’s a steady kind of life, even if it gets a bit hectic during the peak seasons.
