Krishnabehari Tea Co. Ltd.

If you walk down 5, Fancy Lane, you’ll find us tucked away among the older buildings. Krishnabehari Tea Co. Ltd. has been around this part of town for a long time, and the office reflects that. There are old wooden desks and the smell of dried tea leaves that seems to have soaked into the walls over the years. We aren't a high-tech operation with flashing lights. It’s more about sitting down with samples and checking the quality of what comes in from the gardens. Fancy Lane is a narrow spot, so getting deliveries in and out can be a bit of a headache sometimes. We usually have sacks of tea waiting in the hallway, and there’s always a kettle on somewhere. Most of us here have been drinking tea for work so long we can tell where a batch came from just by the scent. It gets a bit hectic when a new shipment arrives and we have to sort everything out. The ceiling is high and the windows are old, letting in just enough light to see what we're doing. We don't do much advertising; most people who need us already know where the building is. It’s a steady kind of life, dealing with something as simple as tea leaves every day. We just keep our heads down and make sure the crates are packed properly before they leave.
