Beanji in India: The Chai That Hugs Your Soul
Beanji in India: The Chai That Hugs Your Soul
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.
