As the world's largest producer of Tea, India is a country where tea is popular all over as a breakfast and evening drink. It is often served as masala chai with milk and sugar, and sometimes scented. Almost all the tea consumed is black Indian tea. Offering tea rather than alcoholic drinks to visitors is the cultural norm in India. Tea has also entered the common idiom so much so that the term "Chai-Pani" (Tea/Tea and water) usually refers to wages, tips or even bribery. Photo credit: Sam Dhargalkar | |
