R. P. Herbals & Spices

We are located at Plot No. 5-25/1 in Chandanagar. One of the best things about being here is that we are right beside Royal Bakers. Every morning, the smell of fresh bread and cakes mixes with the scent of the spices we are working with. It’s a strange combination, but you get to like it after a while. We spend our days sorting through different herbs and spices, making sure everything is clean and ready. There are bags of dried leaves and seeds stacked up against the walls. It’s a very hands-on job. We have a few long tables where the sorting happens. Everyone talks while they work, mostly about their families or what’s for dinner. It’s a relaxed atmosphere, though we do have to be careful about the dust from the peppers. That can make you sneeze if you aren't used to it. The sunlight comes in through the side door and hits the floor in a nice way during the afternoon. We aren't a big operation, just a handful of people who know their spices. We’ve been in this part of Chandanagar for a long time. People know where to find us if they need something specific. We don't use a lot of fancy machinery; it's mostly just us and our scales. It’s a simple life, but it’s good and it keeps us busy every day of the week.
