Tigers Experience - Amritsar - Giani Tea Stall


GIANI The TEA Stall 





Cooper Rd, Company Bagh, Amritsar, Punjab - enroute to Darbar Sahib...  55 year old Shop owned and run by Giani Gurmeet Singh jee .

Yes it is ICONIC and a must do when visiting Amritsar , Punjab.



There is definitely some magic in the Tea served all over Amritsar and i am totally convinced its the water of Amritsar which does the magic ... the food , the tea taste so different and good . The tea is nice kaadi hui perfect sugar levels - mild , milk just right and trust me you cannot just have one .


It was quite a sight of fitness freaks ending their routines with a must have chai at Gianis's and they said they cant go home without one Chai and gup shup ...  didn see any women tho . These guys have been coming to Giani for years after their walks , badminton games . I can can very much relate to them - we do it al the time here in delhi too . 

So I asked the man serving us about the crowd , he said sir sab rich log hain who go to work at 11 am so they have all the time to enjoy the morning tea .. fresh hone ke liye .


Picture Lifted from the Net 
I loved the utensil in which they made the tea , brass pateela with a welded handle .. and the best part is that they never make and store .. they serve every lot fresh - water leaves etc etc etc. 
I did ask the man on how many cups do they sell per day he said he had no idea .. its infinite , never counted them .

Me and my driver did an estimation .... opens at 5 am and its peak business hours til 10 am ...  they have 100 stools outside on the pavement .. each lot of 100 sit for a max of 30 mins .. hence  5 hrs x 2 x 100 = 1000 cups of tea in 5 hours with intervals of 30 mins each .. Each cup is for 15/-  now calculate his business volume heheheheheheheheh.
 Besides tea the man is also know for his omelettes and his sunny side eggs . 



Tigers Experience : What an experience , being a Tea freak loved every sip of the chai .. had two cups and was still keen on the third til i realised where would i go to piddle hehehehe.. a must visit hole in the wall . Small places small pleasures. A must do on the way to the Golden Temple .

Sad part is that his son's dont want to get involved in dad's business so wonder who wil take the legacy ahead ?

Why is tea in Punjab Made in Brass or Peetal ke bartan ?Why is Tea more enjoyable in Mitee ke kulad ?
