Brewing inclusivity: How Talking Fingers cafe is changing the tea game in Assam

Assam's first tea cafe run by the hearing and speech impaired, invites you to communicate through the universal language of tea and sign.

GUWAHATI: Imagine walking into a cafe where every order is a dance of hands and expressions, where silence speaks louder than words.

Welcome to Talking Fingers, where the aroma of Assam’s finest teas mingles with the inspiring stories of resilience and empowerment.

This pioneering establishment, Assam’s first tea cafe run by the hearing and speech impaired, invites you to communicate through the universal language of tea and sign.

Nestled along the serene Tayebulla Road at Dighalipukhuri, Talking Fingers is not just a tea boutique; it’s a revolutionary space run entirely by specially-abled individuals, setting a new standard for inclusivity and excellence in the heart of Assam.

At the helm of this inspiring venture is Ranjit Baruah, a tea entrepreneur with a vision.

His goal? To blend the love for tea with a mission to provide employment opportunities to specially-abled youth.

Baruah explains that everything is done in sign language, providing a unique cultural experience. From attending to customers to taking orders, preparing the food items and tea, all tasks are handled by the staff, emphasizing the inclusive and immersive environment of Talking Fingers.

Opened to the public on May 19, the cafe is staffed by a dedicated team of Gitumoni and Lobhita from Nalbari, Manju Kumari from Lakhimpur, and Vikash Miroh from Naharlagun.

These graduates, proficient in computers, showcase that impairment is not a barrier to personal growth and career development.

Baruah states the idea behind the café lies in the fact that every individual has a right to self-reliance and economic independence. He stresses that impairments cannot hinder personal growth and career development, and that individuals just need a small helping hand.

At this unique cafe, as you sip your tea, crafted with care by the dedicated staff, you’re not just enjoying a beverage—you’re partaking in a movement towards dignity and empowerment.

Talking Fingers is more than just a cafe. It’s a celebration of ability, an embrace of diversity, and a quiet revolution in the heart of Assam’s tea culture.

So, come for the tea, stay for the experience, and leave with a renewed sense of the boundless potential within us all.
