Gupta Tea Company

You can find us at Plot No. 40 in Tijori Gali, which is right by the Indore GPO. It’s a narrow lane, like most of the older parts of the city, so it gets pretty crowded. We’ve been working out of this spot for a while, dealing with tea in a very hands-on way. It’s not a fancy setup with glass windows or anything like that. Just a solid building where we store and sort through our stock. The smell of tea is always in the air here, which is something you get used to pretty quick. We spend our mornings checking the quality and getting orders ready for the local shops. It’s a lot of physical work, lifting sacks and checking labels. The guys here don't mind the hard work, though. We’re used to the hustle of Tijori Gali and the constant flow of people near the post office. Sometimes it feels like the whole city is passing by our door. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything; it’s just us and the tea. We try to be fair and do things the right way, even if it’s just one batch at a time. It’s a simple life and a simple business, and that’s how we prefer it. We've seen a lot of people come and go, but we’re still here at Plot 40, doing what we know. It keeps us on our feet and keeps the bills paid. We just take each day as it comes and do our best.
