Jain Tea Company

Jain Tea Company is located at 2 Dhola Chotra. It’s a spot that’s easy to find if you know the area. The smell of tea is always around us here. We spend our days surrounded by sacks and containers. It’s a bit of a traditional setup. We don't have fancy computers or a slick front office. Most of our time is spent checking the stock and talking to people who come by. Dhola Chotra is a place with a lot of character. There are always people hanging around the square, and we feel like part of the furniture now. The floor is made of old stone and it’s seen a lot of boots over the years. We keep the kettle going for ourselves and the occasional visitor. It’s a quiet kind of work in some ways, but it keeps us busy enough. We don't do much advertising. People just know where we are at number two. Sometimes the delivery trucks have a hard time navigating the narrow bits near the chotra, but they always make it eventually. We’ve been here for a long time and the routine doesn't change much. That is fine with us. We like the rhythm of the day. From the first cup in the morning to the last one before we close the wooden doors at night. It's just a regular life here. We focus on the tea and let the rest of the world go by.
