Rohan Tea Company

If you ever find yourself in Pirij Khan Bard, you might see us near the Shiv Temple. This village is where we started Rohan Tea Company. It's a quiet area for the most part, but the temple brings people around on certain days of the week. We are under the Egra police station jurisdiction in the Purba Medinipur district. The air here is different than in the city, and we like that for our tea business. We don’t have some big corporate headquarters. It’s just a local place where we sort through the tea we get. We spend a lot of time checking the leaves and making sure they are okay. People from the nearby villages stop by sometimes to see what we have in stock. The roads can be a bit dusty around here, especially in the summer months. We have to keep the shop cleaned up constantly because of that. It’s mostly just hard work and long hours. My family helps out quite a bit, so it's a real local operation. We don’t really do much advertising or anything like that. People just know where we are by word of mouth mostly. We've lived in this part of Medinipur for a long time, so we know most of the neighbors. Sometimes it gets busy, other times it's just us waiting for the next delivery to arrive from the gardens. We just keep at it day by day.
