Surbhi Tea Centre

Our little place is Shop No-1 in the Ramraje Shopping Centre. It is right next to the Cotton King Store, so we get a lot of people passing by while they are out buying clothes. Surbhi Tea Centre is just a simple place where we sell different kinds of tea. It is not a huge space, so we have to be clever with how we stack the jars and boxes. Most days it is just a couple of us here. We don't have a big corporate structure or anything like that. We just open up in the morning, dust the shelves, and wait for the first customers. The shopping center is a nice place to work because it stays a bit cooler than the street. We’ve gotten to know the other shopkeepers around here pretty well over the months. It’s a friendly atmosphere. We don't use any aggressive sales tactics or fancy advertising. We just show people what we have and let them decide. Sometimes the deliveries arrive late and we have to scramble to get everything organized, but we manage. It is a steady, quiet kind of business. We just enjoy talking to the people who come in and making sure they get the tea they like. It’s a good little spot for us. We’ve been here a few years now and it finally feels like we belong in this corner of the mall.
