Postal de un Chai-khana en Uzbequistán- via (lifeselixirs):

El Chai-khana (casa de té) es uno de los símbolos tradicionales de Uzbequistán. Siempre ubicada a la sombra, cerca de un río o riachuelo refrescante,  el chai-khana ha sido un lugar de encuentros. Los hombres cubiertos con sus capas se sientan sobre alfombras y cojines, alrededor de una mesa baja, disfrutando de manjares e infinitas tazas de té verde mientras conversan, comentan las noticias y comparten con amigos.

Seven Layers of Tea

lifeselixirs:

Bangladeshis will travel hours to the sleepy town of Srimongol, in Bangladesh’s northeast, just for a cup of Romesh Ram Gour’s famous tea. In a country of avid tea drinkers, Mr. Gour is the inventor behind a seven-layer tea which, he claims, no one else has been able to replicate.

Mr. Gour mixes different types of locally grown tea—three black teas and one green tea— from four types of bushes, with milk and various spices. Each mixture has a distinct color and taste, and he pours one on top of another to create seven distinct bands. Customers sip each layer slowly: Trying to figure out what’s in each one is a fun act of gustatory detective work. 

A seven-layer drink costs 70 taka, or about one U.S. dollar. It may not sound like much, but most cups of tea in the area cost about seven U.S. cents. Mr. Gour claims the flavors “will live with you a lifetime,” but there’s no one tea flavor that makes that memorable of a mark. It’s more about the experience – and drink — as a whole: the mystery of the ingredients, the rows of tea bushes just outside the shops and the chance to drink from the hands of a Bangladeshi tea master.
