Nihar Tea Center

Nihar Tea Center is based at 20/1 Vivekananda College Road over in Thakurpukur. We’ve been here for quite some time now. It’s a busy street, especially with the college being so close to our front door. We focus on tea because that’s what we know best. It’s not a fancy cafe where you sit for hours, it’s a place where we sell tea for you to take home and brew in your own pot. We have different varieties, some stronger than others. My family helps out with the weighing and packing every single day. It’s a small room, mostly filled with sacks of tea leaves from different gardens. The smell is quite nice when you walk in. We don’t do much advertising. People just see the sign when they are walking to the college or the market nearby. We try to keep the prices where regular people can afford them without thinking twice. Thakurpukur is a good place to be, even if the traffic on Vivekananda College Road can be a nightmare in the evenings. We’ve gotten to know the other shop owners around here pretty well. We are just normal people running a normal shop. No big secrets or special missions. We just sell tea and try to be helpful to anyone who stops by our counter. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish up the orders, but that's just how it goes when you run your own place.
