The most revered beverage in India is chai, which is highly adaptable. Like the supreme God, chai is ubiquitous in India, from a poor man’s hut to the billionaire\u2019s and superstar\u2019s mansion, from a roadside stall to a restaurant in the 5-star Taj Hotel<\/a>, from rural interiors to urban hangouts, from train platforms to a height of 35000 feet, from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, and from a writer’s desk to an IT employee’s favorite past time. According to estimates, India alone used more than 1.1 billion kg of Desi chai (tea) in 2021.<\/p>\n

This is the case in all the states of India but specifically in Kolkata, a cup of tea, or Ek cup cha, represents the essence of existence. In Kolkata, it is customary for hosts to serve guests tea and a few snacks like biscuits. The City of Joy, discussing and debating the status of the world while sipping hot tea at a tea stall is a morning habit. In the City of Rabindranath Tagore, tea is a necessary stimulant served alongside a sizable bowl of jhalmuri and tele bhaja (fritters) at any point, a gathering of friends or family.<\/p>\n
