About B. D. Tea Estates (P) Ltd. – Food & Beverages in Kolkata
We spend most of our days here at B. D. Tea Estates (P) Ltd. up on the 7th floor of Crescent Tower. It’s located right on A.J.C. Bose Road, which is always busy with people and cars. The work involves a lot of back and forth with the estates. Tea isn't a simple thing to deal with because the weather changes everything. One week it's raining too much and the next it's too dry for the crops. We look at a lot of samples that come into the office. Most of the staff has been here a long time, so we just get on with it. It’s not a fancy setup, just desks and tea samples everywhere. Sometimes the lift in the building is slow, so we have to wait a bit when coming in. Dealing with tea means you have to be patient. You can't rush the plants and you can't rush the shipping. We handle the paperwork and coordination from this 229 address. It gets noisy outside with the traffic, but inside we just focus on the tasting and the logs. People stop by sometimes to talk about the market prices. We don’t really do big speeches or anything. It’s just about getting the tea from the gardens to where it needs to go. We keep an eye on the quality and make sure the bags are packed right. It's a steady job. We’ve seen the area change over the years, but the way we handle our tea stays pretty much the same.
