Jivraj Tea Ltd

Jivraj Tea Ltd is up on the 3rd floor of the Dr Mansukhlal Tower at Athwagate. If you know Surat, you know Athwagate is a pretty central spot. We deal with tea, so the office usually has a faint smell of dried leaves if a sample bag is open. We spend a lot of time talking to suppliers and checking the quality of the tea coming in. It is not just about drinking it; there is a lot of checking for color and taste and how the leaf looks after it has been dried. We are not a massive conglomerate with thousands of employees. We are just a dedicated group working from this tower. The 3rd floor gives us a bit of a view of the street below, which is always moving. We have been around for a long time, and tea is just something that is part of everyone’s life here. We do not try to make it more complicated than it is. Good tea is just good tea. We keep our operations simple. We receive the tea, we make sure it is what it is supposed to be, and we manage the distribution. It is a steady rhythm that we have gotten used to over the years. People in the building know us as the tea folks. We do not have fancy lobbies. It is a working office where the focus is always on the product.
