Himalaya Tea Company Alka Exports

We are located inside Belvedere Estates, at No. 17- 8/ 8 Alipore Road. Being here in Alipore is nice because it’s a bit greener than the rest of the city. Himalaya Tea Company Alka Exports is what it says on the door. Our days are mostly filled with the smell of tea samples and the sound of packing tape. We spend a lot of time tasting different batches that come in from the gardens. It’s not a glamorous job, mostly just checking quality and making sure the crates are labeled right for export. The office at Belvedere Estates is where we handle the logistics of it all. We have shelves full of small tins and bags. Sometimes the floors get a bit dusty from the tea leaves, but that’s just how it goes in this business. We aren't a massive corporation with a glass building. We are just a team of people who know a lot about tea and how to move it from one place to another. We have our routines, like the morning meeting over a hot cup of whatever just arrived. It’s a practical way to work. Alipore Road is usually busy, so the commute can be a pain, but once we’re inside, we just get on with it. We’ve been doing this for a while, and the walls are covered with old maps and shipping schedules that we still use.
