Vaibhav Tea Co.

Vaibhav Tea Co. is located on Makum Road. This road is always full of trucks, mostly carrying tea from the estates around Tinsukia. We are right there on the edge of the road, so we see all the traffic. Our business is basically a place where we handle the local tea trade. It is loud because of the heavy vehicles, and there is usually a bit of dust in the air. We do not have a big fancy sign. Most people know us by word of mouth and have been coming here for a long time. We spend our days weighing tea, packing it into smaller bags, and talking to the drivers who stop by. It is a very practical kind of job. No one wears a suit or tie here. We are usually in our work clothes, getting our hands a bit dirty with the tea leaves. Sometimes the rain is so heavy we have to stop work for a bit because you cannot hear anything over the sound of the rain hitting the tin roof. We have been on Makum Road for a while and we have seen many businesses come and go, but we just stay here and keep doing what we know. The evenings are usually the best when the sun starts to set and the traffic thins out just a little bit. We finish up the last few invoices and lock up the gates for the night.
