The spread of Covid-19 pandemic has taught us the way more than we could ever imagine. The months long lockdown and the new normal of social distancing have made us stay away from our favourite ‘gossip-circles’ or hangout spots. Creativity has caught different enthusiasm level in most of us during lockdown and cooking has been the most popular pastime irrespective of generation. While many of us have been missing our ‘Chai-adda’ for quite some time now, we can actually make a tea-station or tea-bar at home to indulge in the hot smoky beverage. It is also easy to accomplish without spending much from your pocket or kitchen space.
Having an organised tea-station at home allows you to rejuvenate your mind and body, and to cherish your ‘me-time’ with the best essence, you need to have the best tea as your companion. Hathikuli organic CTC tea can boost your immunity keeping you focussed on your track during this crisis time, you can also try Amalgamated plantations green tea leveraging digestive abilities and relaxation of mind. Put your choice of flavours into handcrafted tins or mason jars with beautiful display and label them such that you can easily find which one to grab.
After stacking the favourite tea jars, it is important to plan what part of your kitchen or home can be dedicated to your love for tea. Decide allotted spaces for keeping the kettle, the mugs, pitchers, jars and pick your best comfortable place as the drink station. Next sort and organise all the required ingredients and equipment to get the most of your tea station. Little moves like keeping antique jars and silver cups, or adding a freestanding drawer to keep the containers can present you as the master blender of a neat and classy tea-station.
Finally, be as creative as possible with the decoration of your newly setup tea bar – after all, when you are the owner of this beautiful creation. Add hues of fun and frolic to your chai-spot by choosing a great theme colour, hanging photos of tea-memories with loved ones or simply placing your music box there. You can also keep small plants, adding a little freshness or greenery to your station.
While we are yearning for the hugs and laughter of our closed ones, catching up with friends or family from your home tea-station can be the new normal for virtual ‘chai-adda’. Cherish the cup of satisfying and hearty refreshment with your own mastery that will take you through the lane of nostalgia over tea.
