7 different ways Indians love to take their tea

We start our day with a hot cuppa of tea. The first thing we do after reaching work is to order tea. We have tea breaks more than anything else. Basically, tea is bae. Though tea originated from China, we celebrate it more than anyone else.

So much so, that we have developed our own tea culture which varies from region to region. If you are a chai lover and have not tasted different types of teas, you are missing a lot.
