What’s in a cup of tea? Well, if you ask us, there’s no such thing as desi culture without tea in the equation. Our days begin with a cup of warm tea and a chai biscuit. These snacks really are a part of our life and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.<\/p>\n

Office cultures also somewhat revolve around tea where colleagues tend to have a lighthearted conversation over a cup (or two) at least twice a day. Needless to say, some of the most convenient hangout spots for guys are tea stalls or roadside dhabbas, also referred to as ‘hotel’ by some of us urban peeps.<\/p>\n

However, one of the biggest issues regarding these dhabas is hygiene. One can never be completely sure if the cups or glasses in these spots are thoroughly washed. We also know that hundreds of people frequent these places every single day.<\/p>\n

So what should be the solution for this? Selling tea in a disposable paper or plastic cup could be an option. However, it’s still not a good enough choice for the environment that we live in.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the rising number of cafes all over the world, and the ‘coffee-to-go culture’, we are already struggling to control our usage of disposable cups and straws. We believe this is not a sustainable measure.<\/p>\n

Are There Any Better Alternatives to Enjoying Tea?<\/h3>\n

Amidst this global crisis, a tea stall in India is giving us better options to not only enjoy our tea but also help the environment.<\/p>\n

RS Pathy Nilgiri tea stall is selling tea in edible biscuit cups. Say what? That’s exactly what we thought at first. Tea so good that you eat it, teacup and all!<\/p>\n

This is an idea that should also come to Pakistan. And it’s really not that costly. Apparently, the Indian tea stall sells these delicious chocolate flavored biscuit tea shots at the price of Rs 20.<\/p>\n
