My A-One Cutting Chai Story…
Hello fellas.. its been a while I have been away. Busy schedule and work load makes me sad for not being able to write on this platform. Anyway, today I am gonna share my experiences that I have gone through with “A-One Cutting Chai “.

Though I was born and raised in Guwahati, I love green tea but in a regular basis if someone offers me an option between two, green tea or A-One Cutting Chai , I will always go for an “A-One Cutting Chai”. I must say you will get this Chai only in India and nowhere else in the world. I cant explain the happiness and joy of having it.. There goes my story….
When I go for a ride or journey early morning, I always go for a kadak Cutting Chai from a nearby stall to break my sleep. I love to sleep a lot so a cup of masala tea does the best to me. It boosts me up and give me energy to work all day. There are different types Chai I must say.. : they are plain milk chai, Masala chai, Ginger chai, Black Pepper chai. My favorite one is Masala Chai. When I am sick I used to have Masala chai which soots me well. Hostel days were the best where you go out with your friends at night at around 2 o’ clock and grab a cup of hot masala chai on the nearest street stall. These are the best memories that you can have.
“Cutting Chai is made of milk and tea blended with sugar. The magic is by adding the required amount of spices in it.”
During my days of travelling, I never miss to click a picture of my Chai. Pakoras are my favorite snack to have with my Chai. yumm.. I am hungry by just thinking about it now.. :p
Chai is mostly served::
1. in a glass,
2. served in a small steel katora with a steel glass so that we can pour the Chai on the katora and have it known as Katora chai and
3.served in earthen cups known as Kullad Chai.
4. served in a plastic glass. (I hate the most.)
I love to have my Chai in a glass. Tell me which is your favorite way of having your Chai on the comment section below. Also mention the type of Chai that you like the most on the comment section below.
I miss Chai stalls on the streets who used to pour and play with the Chai with two glases on both of their hands. Their act seems to be easy but its not. I tried at home once doing it. Did you? But I failed. My Chai was all over the place. Its very hard to find those types of tea stalls now a days. And if yes then I am not so lucky as you but I really miss it. Now a days they normally they make their tea on a steel or copper vessel and serves Chai. Kolkata Chai was the best till now. I had it a try outside the Howrah Railway station where they serve it on a earthen cups.
Its funny that I am writing this blog having a cup of Cutting Chai..
Tell me your Chai story if you have any..

For waking, I’m very much a coffee person. I have to have my two cups before I can get on my way and somehow chai of any kind just doesn’t do it for me. But after that I am a huge fan of masala chai. I also don’t like to have it in plastic cups – glass for me all the time. But for me what also matters is what it’s served with. Give me chai with warm gulab jamun or gajar halwa with it and I am in heaven. The chai balances out the sweet of the mithai beautifully and they make each other more enjoyable.

I must admit that I’ve never tasted chai -but that’s not because I’m a conservative…. cappuccino cappuccino….no no- and I’ve been travelling quite a bit in my life. It just never happened. Your recipe has definitively moved ‘must try chai’ on the to-do list! Ciao!

I sometimes tried taking one glass of tea in one hand and other empty glass in other. I raise the right hand till my mouth height and the left intact at waist level and than pour it the right hand glass tea into empty left hand glass which will still be at waist level. I do get successful. I enjoy the “garam dhuaa” which comes out while tea is in the air while I pour. It almost crushes my face. Wowwww! That feeling warms the heart. You should try it too even if you fail. Or do a back calculation and try. Raise the right hand glass full of tea from the tip of left hand emty glass and then slowly take right hand upwards, so that you get a fair idea of the position your left glass is in and then pour it. You will succeed. If you try and succeed in what I said, do let me know 🙂

Omg. Omg. Omg.
Similarities. Similarities. Similarities.
First of all, I am a big big tea lover. My mornings are never complete with tea.
And yessss, I also stay in hostel. It has been 6 years now staying in hostels. So, I do visit a general store near my hostel and have a cup of tea few hours after my dinner. He serves in a glass made up of glass. I hope you got that.
Tea and Pakoras are love especially in rains and cold nights 😍 💜 I mentioned about that combination in my blog “A dayout at InfiniTea”. You liked that blog as well. And I am sure you remember everything you read in that blog, as you yourselves are a tea lover.
When I am at home, I always drink in katori (no glasses or cups or mugs). Just one half circled katori.
When I visit small tea stores (which I do very often), I love being served in a small steel katora with a steel glass so that we can pour the Chai on the katora and have it. I did not knew it was called Katora Chai. Thanks for that information 😊
And about flavours of tea, I can have any flavour of tea wihich has milk in it. Masala, Adrak, elachi, laung, pudina and just anything. I have hard time in dinking black tea. Green teas I can still somehow manage.
And coming to Cutting Chai. We people say, Cutting Chai means “Cut one tea into two”. You can say 1 by 2 chai. Cutting Chai 😊
We also get K Tea in our place, maybe you get in many places but I never heard of it in other places. I tried to know why they call it K Tea. But, no one knew. It just signifies some special tea. We go to small dhaba and say “1 K Tea”. Something so simple hahaha 😊
And hey, your knowledge about tea is just too good. Maybe the way you explained it was even moreeeees beteerrrrr. I just loved reading every single word. While I was reading, I was already imagining the things you were saying and getting those feeling. That 2 am chai experiences also I had quite a few times 😊😊
Keep blogging, I am eagerly waiting to read your explanations and narrations 😊😊
