The go-to tea lovers ka adda in Kanpur
So, why does Kanpur love the chai at this particular tea stall? Well, the credit goes to their unique style of making tea, which gives the tea its distinct flavour!

The purity of ingredients also enhances the flavour and as the perfect last touch, malaai is added separately to each cup. To go along with your hot cuppa, the place also offers delish snacks, including their special fresh buns with salted butter, bun makkhan.
And guess what? This tea spot in Kanpur also holds that low-key ‘chai ki tapri’ vibe.
