Tea Board Of India

Our office at 14 Brabourne Road is right in the heart of things. If you know this part of the city, you know how loud and busy it gets outside. We have been in this building for a long time, and you can tell by the way the hallways look and how the windows rattle when a big truck goes by. It’s a lot of paperwork and meetings here. People are always coming in with samples or documents to be signed. We have those old wooden desks that have probably seen thousands of cups of tea over the decades. The air usually smells a bit like dried leaves and old paper, which isn't a bad thing. We don't have any of those modern open-plan layouts you see in new buildings. It’s more about little rooms and stacks of files everywhere. Some days the phones don't stop ringing and everyone is a bit frazzled, but we manage to get through it. We aren't here to make things look pretty for visitors; we are here to handle the business that comes through the door every morning. It’s a practical place with people who have been working here for years and know exactly how everything is supposed to go. You just walk in, find the right person, and get your business sorted out. It takes a bit of patience sometimes.
