Chaiwala

Chaiwalas are mainly people who prepare, sell or serve Indian tea on streets or small roadside shops. They boil a mixture of water and milk, add tea leaves and then strain the tea into containers or a tea kettle.

A lot of chaiwala tend to come in from different parts of India and run small businesses in major cities. Chaiwalas usually serve tea in a small glasses or unglazed clay teacups (Kulhar) but in recent years they have started to serve tea in plastic cups. Traditionally chai was made in brass vessels; however that appears to be changing in some places.

The Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is a former chaiwala. He occasionally used to serve tea to the customers of his father's tea-stall outside the Vadnagar Railway Station. His chaiwala background was mocked by Mani Shankar Aiyar, a senior leader of the then ruling Congress Party.BJP seized on this opportunity to emphasize the humble background of Narendra Modi, by opening a number of "NaMo Teas Stalls" and organizing an public discussion campaign termed "Chai Pe Charcha".
