Chai Guy!

So basically my day starts with a cup of milk tea. This has been my routine since my child hood. A nice cup of Liptons Yellow Label - Carnation evaporated liquid milk - One Table spoon Sugar = Stan's Cup of Tea. 
I was never a Coffee guy.  Not that I hate it but, given the options I'd stick to tea any day, although I read an article today mentioned Coffee does reduces the risk of death.
I usually have Nescafe during the cold season and the other time I love to have coffee is usually in flights - for some strange reason I really like the coffee with milk serves aboard Air India. :) 

Now I usually like my tea not too strong and not too light either. Its that nice blend that should leave a soothing sense once you've sipped it. Never liked the other kinda tea, rose tea, green tea, masala tea, ginger garlic or any other spice tea....they all suck.
I have my tea usually with biscuits. Its goes well with moms homemade Chappattis, mini puris, but I used to also love having tea with 
- Petit Buerre Biscuits, 
 - Digestive, 
- Marie, 
- Danish Cookies, 
- Horlicks biscuit, 
- Glucose, 
- Nice coconut, 
- nice fresh plain croissant, 
- bourbon,
- Italian puff pastries, 
- Donuts,
- the local kuwait flour mills pita bread ( kubhuz)
- Braided sweet french bread
- cake rusk
- cream biscuits
 and the best of them all TUC biscuits that I have been having since my childhood. 




I usually have black tea (without milk) when Im sick, or have a bad cold, it does kinda give me a relief. I once tried having black tea with Vanilla Ice Cream it wasnt bad, but a funny blend of ice cold and hot. 


I do have alotta good memories attached to this cup of tea, usually my regular beverage for breakfasts. I remember having it in the morning around 9-10 am, since my school would start at 12.30 in the afternoon. Then around 6 am in the morning when I was schooling in Goa. 
Having it for 1 rupee at the College Canteen, speaking of which I remember my senior back then -Alemao, was such a prick, he stole my cup of tea and had it, but politely thanked me for it. Kinda puts you in one of those situation where you wanna punch him so hard but you cant coz he said the magic word - Thank you. anyways, Alemao - I wish I could have said Fuck you, but instead I said no problem and got me another cup! :$


I also remembering sipping a cup at 6am in the morning all tired right after attending a wedding still all decked up with the bow tie and suit.


I remember when I was a kid and whenever I used to head to church, the cab that we took to ride to church would halt at the signal just before the church and Through the window I could see the Sheraton hotel coffee shop and since then always wanted to have a cup of coffee at that coffee shop.  I still haven't crossed it out in my things that I wanted to do since childhood list.  Maybe its about time I get that done. 


Beside Coke and juices...tea happens to be the drink that I love having. So im not into coffee...especially black, bitter or turkish coffee. So dont ask me out for a coffee, lets sit for tea instead... I'm indeed  a Chai-Guy! :)


Stan out.
