Khema Tea Private Limited

Our office is in South Colony, Ward No. 8, over in Malbazar. We are pretty easy to find because we are right near the Buddha Mandir. It’s a nice landmark to have. Being in Malbazar means we are right in the heart of the tea country, and that’s exactly what we do. We handle tea, mostly from a business and distribution side. The office is run by Kanak Barua and the rest of the team. It’s a small place with a lot of character. We have some old desks, a few cupboards full of samples, and a kettle that’s almost always boiling. We spend a lot of time talking to garden managers and local traders. The atmosphere is casual. Sometimes neighbors drop by just to say hello or ask about the market prices. We don't use a lot of fancy technology; a lot of our notes are still written down on paper pads. The area around the Buddha Mandir is relatively quiet, which is nice when you’re trying to focus on numbers. We’ve been here for a while and we know the rhythms of the town. When it rains, we just watch it from the doorway and wait for the trucks to be able to move again. It’s a very grounded way to work, focusing on a product that grows right in our backyard here in Jalpaiguri. It is just a normal local business life.
