Mr. Atul Asthana, Managing Director, Goodricke Group Limited shared, “Goodricke has been one of India’s most trusted tea brands for several decades now. In tandem with its superior quality of tea, the Goodricke Teapot outlets are a reflection of the company’s commitment to the same excellence. With the launch of ‘Queen’s Deck’ in India’s biggest cosmopolitan city, we are certainly looking forward to interacting with Mumbai’s diverse set of consumers and surely welcome their feedback.”

Speaking at the launch, Mr. P.T. Krishnan, Vice President, Consumer Division, Goodricke Group Limited, said, “With a stream of Irani Cafes, popular nooks offering cutting-chai and a diverse co-inhabitance of numerous communities, Mumbai has always encouraged its tea-drinking tradition. With ‘Queen’s Deck’ Goodricke wishes to add to this experience and bring more value with its variety flavors of tea. We have seen a phenomenal success with Margaret’s Deck, our premium tea lounge based near Darjeeling – with Mumbai, we are optimistic to build trust in Western India.”

“I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to Goodricke, for the successful launch of their new lounge. It is stunning, to say the least. The space makes you feel very warm and pampered and I am sure all of us would love spending time here. Given the fast-paced life that Mumbaikars lead, a cup of tea is always a good idea; especially when it carries delightful flavours from the choicest tea gardens that will leave you craving for more. I am glad that Marine Drive will no longer just be about the sea, but will also mean Goodricke tea, for tea lovers like me,” said popular Bollywood actress Nimrat Kaur, at the launch event.

The Queen’s Deck is Goodricke’s third outlet of this kind, under the Goodricke Teapot initiative.
