Who doesn’t love sipping hot black tea on a cold, rainy day? A crunchy parippuvada (dal fritter) would be perfect to go with the tea. Even Dulquer Salman couldn’t resist this fabulous combo in one of his movies. In case you crave hot black tea or many other varieties of teas, then head straight to the Tea Cafe on the side of the Seaport-Airport Road in Kalamassery, Ernakulam.
This spot is already becoming a favourite among youngsters, families and tea lovers. Their amazing menu that offers a huge variety of tea is the highlight here. Moreover, you could also enjoy delicious Malabar snacks and rich avil milk.
For the love of tea! Muhammad Rashid, who hails from Kochi, is a self-confessed tea lover. His quest for tasty and refreshing tea inspired him to start a cafe at the heart of Kochi. Now, Rashid, who serves tasty tea and snacks to tea lovers like him, has become their hero.
Even though it is a cafe, different kinds of avil milk, shakes, and snacks too are sold here. The latest addition to the menu is the iconic ice ‘churandi’ or flavoured, shaved ice. Rashid managed to introduce flavoured ice (also known as ice orathi), which is a trademark of the Kozhikode beach, in Kochi, earning the admiration of many.
He says that families love visiting the cafe as it is a cosy spot to enjoy some valuable time in each other’s company. Tea Cafe begins to get busy by four in the evening and people often queue up in front of the cafe even late into the night. A post shared by Ko.
