• AMAZING KOLKATA Food S...
In this final episode of our Kolkata Food series, let's take you on a brief journey that will acquaint you about the ubiquitous tea and adda (convivial gathering) culture without which the Bengali way of life is incomplete. Here in Kolkata, the love for tea is so cogent that you will find a tea shop on every nook and corner of the city.
There is an unparalleled satisfaction in sipping a cup of piping hot cup of well made milk tea purchased off a roadside tea stall. Kolkata takes its tea very seriously and hence it is deemed as the tea capital of the country. The tea here is mostly served in clay cups called matir bhaar. The earthiness from these eco friendly containers enhances the taste of the tea. Moreover, Bengalis believe in spending a good amount of their leisure time in having long winding conversations over chai and biscuits with friends at these non descript stalls. This informal gathering is known as adda. It involves long periods of discussions over topics both serious and light. So it can be a political, social, cultural, economical etc. discourse between a group of friends and acquaintances. So tea and adda compliments each other.
The tea drinking scene over here is so riveting that during our 5 days tour, we too ended up having countless cups from tea from every juncture that we halted at during our shoot. So as we reminisce about the city's affection for tea, we couldn't help but recall some of the places where had an amazing tea experience. First comes the zesty Lemon tea that we had tried at 102 years old Favourite Cabin and at Princep Ghat. While the former was the hangout point of the revolutionaries, intellectuals and freedom fighters during the British Rule, the second destination is the city's oldest recreational spots. Next in the list is the unique steam Chai from the very popular Balwant Singh's Eating House. It's unique because unlike the making of regular tea, here the tea is not boiled in milk. The strained brew is steamed in large water baths. The following one is a mind blowing saffron tea from Arun Tea stall. The rich and sweet fragrance of the saffron strands sprinkled on the top combined with the strong brew made it phenomenal. The final place that has made way into our memory is the Kadak chai from Baba Tea stall in Zakaria Street.
Furthermore our curiosity about the earthen cups led us to the iconic potter's colony in the city at Kumortuli to witness the making of the Bhars. It is inhabited by the porters who make clay items. We saw the whole process from scratch and realized how what back breaking task it is to make these tiny, unassuming bhars that used only once. So come let delve into the details.

Pamela is really cute. And her 'mishti' voice is to die for! Her cuteness does not take away from the fact that she is a very knowledgeable girl. A complete package. Her present/future boyfriend will be a lucky guy indeed!
This Kolkata series is so amazing. You've documented it so perfectly. Being a Bengali I'm so happy to see these videos. ❤️❤️

Kumortuli is better known as the place where they make clay deities which are required in the festive season from September/October through January/February. This is another Kumortuli quite unknown to many including those living in the City. Thank you for highlighting this aspect.
Music ;litreature sweets n tea fond of bengalies .. really seems very cool city chill ..'⛹️ city of joy" indeed
I think as Indians, it is really important to encourage our desi potters. As is evident from the video, pottery is an art. Mehnat lagti hai aur har kisi ke bas ki nahi hai. Yet, because the cups are priced so cheaply(which I feel does not do justice to the hard work that goes into making them), these potters find it tough to sustain their livelihood in this profession. No wonder the potter's sons look for other jobs. The tragedy in India is that sabse zyada mehnat karne waale log sabse kam kamaate hain aur sabse kam kaam karne waale log sabse zyada kamaate hain. These potters need to be appropriately compensated. Drink more kulhad chai, everybody! Also, stop buying chinese lights and buy more diyas during Diwali.
Nitya completely agree with you ! It happens everywhere. We have been to Assam and seen the conditions of tea workers and how much they make. And how much the tea garden owner earns. same goes for chocolate makers and Cacao plantation workers. It is same every where.
At least, next time when we drink tea in kulhad, we could visualise the kuumhars and their labour :)
World is full of injustice
Salute to kumbhar..... And to you Sapra ji... Love u
I love watching this show and it was especially nice that we got to see the potters who made all of those teacups. Thanks for a great video series.

Watch full series in a day as it was my day off and in lockdowns
Great series, my city my love ❤
आपका वीडियो काफ़ी अच्छा है 👍👍👍 मैं खुद एक समाजसेवी डॉक्टर और ज्योतिषी दोनो काम करता हूं सिरसा शहर हरियाणा में रहता हूं मुझे भी घूमने का और खाने पीने का काफी शौक है चाय को कभी भी सिल्वर के बर्तन में नहीं बनाना चाहिए सिर्फ़ स्टील या पीतल का बर्तन लेना चाहिए, दूसरी बात कि चाय को सिर्फ़ एक ही उबाला देना चाहिए ज्यादा देर तक उबलाने से चाय ज़हर बन जाती हैं 😮😮😮😮🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄, अगर किसी को कड़क चाय पीनी है तो शुरू में ही थोड़ी सी चाय पत्ती ज्यादा डाल लेनी चाहिए 😊😊
👍👍👍👍👍
Brother you are amazing❤love from Sylhet.Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Lovely work on my Bengal.

Most off tea sellers are coming from Up or Bihar to Kolkata. They are grabbed the market of Kolkata. Due to those people West Bengal's rural people are under poverty. In Chennai, their govt. always give advantage to Tamil people.
Good sir 👍
