Chai As an Experience
My mother had a routine of having tea in the morning and at “tea time,” which was effectively about 6 p.m., along with a salty or sweet snack to stave off hunger until dinner, which was served before 8:30 or 9 o’clock. Even though we weren’t permitted to drink tea owing to the caffeine, I spent numerous hours soaking up the aroma of boiling chai in my parents’ living room. — Diya
It was time to take a break and slow down for a while. It was an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones, see friends, rejoice in the promise of a new day, find reprieve from the afternoon heat as temperatures began to cool off in the early evening or get a much-needed boost. — Meera
My first taste of milky, spicy chai as an adult marked the beginning of a lifetime of moments defined by a soothing Indian custom. — Vijay
