Teacoffee Association

Our place, the Teacoffee Association, is tucked away in the Shivam Complex. We are at Plot No. M304, which is right near the Vichumbe Gram Panchayat. If you are looking for us, that’s usually a good landmark to use. The complex stays pretty busy during the week with people coming and going for all sorts of errands. We handle both tea and coffee here, though some days it feels like more of one than the other. It’s a practical setup. We have some storage space and a small area where we do the paperwork. It gets a bit dusty sometimes because of the construction nearby, but we keep things as clean as we can. The neighbors are mostly other small businesses, so there is a lot of nodding hello in the hallways. We aren't trying to be anything big or flashy. It’s just a local spot in Vichumbe where we get the orders ready and talk to suppliers. Sometimes the trucks have a hard time finding the exact plot number in the complex, so we end up standing out by the road to wave them in. It's just part of the daily grind. We like being near the Gram Panchayat because everyone knows where that is. It makes giving directions a lot easier for us. We just keep our heads down and stay busy with the tea and coffee trade. It’s honest work and it keeps us occupied. Every day is mostly the same.
