Chai Time


With all the tradition, ceremonies, rituals, habits and conventions Tea aka Chai is the most significant & vital starter for any vice and virtue in India. It is a land of tea-holics. It has evolved as legacy from the tables of elite to common man’s beverage with twists.

You needn't to spend hefty amount in VATs and Service charges as per conditions but a Great Chai can often be found in moderate Indian streets with typical countryside snacks and the feel is beyond compare to any majestic towers or serene and lavish surroundings.

The Symbol of Hospitality! Tea is undoubtedly the most interesting of all our table drinks. It is more closely associated with social life than any other beverages we use. A cup of tea is not only a symbol of hospitality in India, but is also in British Empire, China, Japan and Russia.

Economically elevated in few years and one of the fastest developing countries in the world map; India has tempted Indians to continue relying on their faithful cup of cheers. It comes in varied tastes and pinches are added for value addition. A special tea or a typical Indian spicy tea is thickly brewed in abundant milk over tea stalls with a dash of special spices like ginger, cardamom, cloves etc. Tea leaves or tea-powder or a mixture of both, form basis of Indian Tea.

India is one of the largest producer and consumers of tea in the world. Road-side eateries and chai stalls are a common sight on busy Indian roads and streets. It is a common man's humble celebration, is a good breakthrough in the middle of the day or after a hard day's work. It's the lifeline of India's progress which not only binds the society but also demolishes the barriers of any caste, creed, rich and poor, literate and illiterate urban and rural segregation.
