Sangam Tea Company

The Rukmadi Complex is where you’ll find us, right in the middle of Namak Mandi. Sangam Tea Company has been tucked away in this part of the market for years. It’s a crowded area, and the streets are always full of people carting goods back and forth. You can hear the shouting of the vendors and the honking of the rickshaws from our front door. Our space in the complex is usually piled high with sacks of tea. It’s a bit of a maze inside sometimes because we keep getting new stock in before the old stuff moves out. We don’t have much room for a proper office, so we just have a few desks squeezed in between the inventory. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the lighting is a bit dim in the back, but nobody really complains. Most of our day is spent talking to traders or checking the quality of the leaves that arrive from the gardens. It’s a hands-on kind of job. We get a lot of tea dust on our shoes by the end of the shift. The Namak Mandi area has a certain way of doing things, and we’ve just become a part of that rhythm. It isn't a place for people who like quiet. It’s loud, it’s busy, and there’s always something happening right outside the Rukmadi Complex entrance.
