Despite
the increasing craze for exotic lattes and frappes, the quintessential
"cutting chai" still is Mumbai's preferred drink and dominates the streets. Whether you are passing by a busy road, by lanes or a railway station
in any part of the city, the sight of a "tapri" (a small cart selling
tea), the fragrance of piping hot tea being brewed and poured into a big
tumbler to serve people and the
precision in the way the tea passes from that tumbler to the glasses; an
Art that can be acquired only with experience, is difficult to miss!
Sipping
a "Cutting chai" languidly at the roadside "tapri" with
friends and witnessing life around is one of the ways to enjoy and explore this
stunningly beautiful metropolis, Mumbai.
