Silonibari Tea Company

Silonibari Tea Company is located at 35 Chetla Central Road. We've been here for a while now. The building isn't much to look at from the outside, but it gets the job done. Every morning we open up and start sorting through the tea. It's a lot of work and my hands usually end up smelling like dried leaves by noon. Chetla is a busy place, especially when the trucks come through. We don't have a big fancy sign or anything like that. People who need us usually know where to find us. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to chat or ask about the weather. We try to keep things organized but sometimes the crates pile up in the corner. It's just me and a couple of others most days. We don't spend money on fancy furniture because the tea takes up all the space. If you walk down Central Road, you'll see the old gate. It sticks a bit in the rain. We handle the tea business simply. No big meetings or shiny computers, just registers and bags of product. Some days are slow and we just sit by the door watching people go to work. Other days we are rushing to get everything ready before the sun goes down. It’s a plain way to make a living but we are used to it by now. The tea is just tea to us after all these years.
