Maharastra Tea Supply Co.

Maharastra Tea Supply Co. is found at 1095 Budhwar, right across from the Datta Mandir on Shivaji Road. It’s a busy spot, and the bells from the temple are something we hear every single day. The office smells strongly of tea leaves, which is something we’ve all grown to love. We handle the supply side of things, so there’s always a lot of heavy lifting and moving bags around. The floors are made of concrete and they’ve got plenty of scuffs from the crates being dragged. We have a small crew and we all know each other well. There isn't much in the way of luxury here. We have some simple wooden tables and a few chairs that aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job. The street outside is always packed with people and traffic, especially during the festival seasons. It can be quite a challenge to get deliveries in and out sometimes because Shivaji Road is so narrow. We just do the best we can with the space we have. There are shelves lined with different samples of tea that we check throughout the day. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just rely on the work we’ve been doing for years. It’s a dusty job, but it’s honest, and we take pride in getting the tea where it needs to go. Most of us have been here for a decade or more.
