Tea- Aspire Llp

We are based over at Axoobhoy Mansion on Hill Road in Bandra West. It’s an old building with high ceilings and those big windows that let in a lot of dust from the street. Tea- Aspire Llp operates out of the Babaji Parab space at 170A. If you’ve ever walked down Hill Road, you know how hectic it gets with the shoppers and the street vendors everywhere. Getting into the building can be a bit of a squeeze sometimes when the pavement is crowded. Inside, it’s a bit quieter, but you can still hear the honking from outside. We deal with tea sourcing and wholesale, so the room is usually filled with the scent of different leaves. We have these large metal tins everywhere. Sometimes we spill a bit of sample tea on the floor and have to scramble to clean it up before it stains. It’s just how it goes when you’re working in a small space. Our team is small, and we don't really have set roles; everyone just helps out with whatever needs doing. We spend a lot of time on the phone with growers. The monsoon season is the hardest because the dampness isn't good for the stock, so we are always checking the seals on everything. It’s a lot of repetitive work, like labeling boxes and checking shipping invoices. We like being in Bandra because there’s always somewhere to grab a quick snack nearby.
