Tea is one of the industries, which by an Act of Parliament comes under the control of the Union Govt. The genesis of the Tea Board India dates back to 1903 when the Indian Tea Cess Bill was passed. The Bill provided for levying a cess on tea exports - the proceeds of which were to be used for the promotion of Indian tea both within and outside India. The present Tea Board set up under section 4 of the Tea Act 1953 was constituted on 1st April 1954.
The **Tea Board of India** headquarters, located at **14, B.B.D. Bagh, Kolkata**, is an important institution that represents one of India’s most loved and world-famous beverages — **Tea**. Established in **1953**, under the **Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India**, the Tea Board plays a crucial role in the development, regulation, and promotion of the Indian tea industry. The office building itself is located in the heart of Kolkata’s business district, close to iconic landmarks like Writers’ Building and GPO. It is housed in an old colonial-era structure, reflecting Kolkata's British-era heritage, and has a charming vintage look from the outside.

Government of India has established Tea Board to cultivate different types of Tea in India and to promote our Tea globally as Tea is one of the major trades from India. Very clean and neat Office with Helpful Government employees. It is located just at the crossing of Brabourne Road and major Bus stops here. So, as per connectivity it is very great place and for working purposes one has not to spend lot of times here. Too good Government Office by India Government.
One of these most revved institution here. It serves as a gateway to the Assam tea getting to the world. It has a spacious cafe on first floor 'The Tea Room'. Well maintained and served, it celebrates the tea culture with numerous varieties of tea that it serves. Do visit.
The majestic and opulent TEA ROOM in first floor of the Iconic Tea Board Building is one of few additions to be cheered of during the Covid era. The place by GOODRICKE company is a real treat to visit. This elegant tea cafe with wide variety of TEA and snacks is a special not too frequented. Overlooking the busy crossing where people run to either reach office or reach home most miss out the great experience of a quiet place to sip tea with light snacks. Best place for a small Meet up with your friends or colleagues or have a business meet. I was overwhelmed by the vast range of tea GOODRICKE offer and also these are available for sale at the counter.
