Beanji in India: The Chai That Hugs Your Soul





Join Beanji's Spice Market Adventure in India

Beanji the panda landed in India expecting spice — but he didn’t expect every cup of tea to taste like a story. From bustling city corners to misty mountain villages, his teacup never stayed empty for long. Because here, chai isn’t just tea — it’s how India says “welcome.”

🫖 Stop #1: Mumbai — Street Chai & City Buzz

His first chai came from a clanking stall on a street in Mumbai. The chai wallah was a pro: milk boiling, spices steeping, glasses rattling. He poured the masala chai high from pot to cup like a waterfall — creamy, sweet, and just enough ginger to tickle Beanji’s whiskers. One sip and bam! — caffeine plus warmth? Instant hug.

🌄 Stop #2: Darjeeling — Chai in the Clouds

In the cool hill stations of West Bengal, Beanji tasted first flush Darjeeling tea — delicate, floral, lighter than the masala blends. Locals called it the “Champagne of Teas.” Here, chai was sipped slowly on verandas overlooking misty tea estates, and Beanji took his time… for once.

🏜️ Stop #3: Rajasthan — Desert Chai & Camel Talks

In the dry heat of Rajasthan, Beanji found himself seated on a woven cot under the stars, sipping spicy kadak chai brewed over a charcoal fire. “Kadak” means strong — and it was. Locals laughed as he coughed from the peppery punch… then poured him more. Chai here was bold like the desert.

🧘 Stop #4: Kerala — Chai & Coconut Palms

Down south in Kerala, tea had a tropical twist. Beanji tried Sulaimani chai — a clear, spiced black tea without milk, served with a slice of lime. It was light, fragrant, and perfect after a banana leaf meal. “Soothing,” he whispered, watching palm trees sway.

🐼 Beanji’s Chai Wisdom

India isn’t just one chai. It’s thousands of recipes — each shaped by region, weather, and love. No matter where you go, someone is ready to share a cup and a story.

  Beanji in Turkey: Tea, Talk, and Tulips When Beanji arrived in Turkey, he expected baklava. What he didn’t expect was how deeply tea — or çay — flowed through every corner of life. From the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the tea-covered hills of Rize, Beanji quickly learned: in Turkey, you’re never alone with a glass of çay . 🕌 Stop #1: Istanbul — Street Tea & Simit Rings Beanji’s first encounter came in Istanbul. As he wandered through the Grand Bazaar, a shopkeeper waved him in — not to sell, but to share. A small, tulip-shaped glass of black tea arrived, hot and deep red. No milk. Just sugar cubes and warm conversation. “This,” the shopkeeper said, “is our welcome.” 🌿 Stop #2: Rize — Where Tea Grows Wild Curious where this magical tea came from, Beanji hopped a train east to Rize , Turkey’s lush tea capital along the Black Sea. There, he hiked through endless green hills covered in tea shrubs. Locals plucked leaves by hand. Beanji even helped — sort of (he mo...
