Description
Inspired by Kolkata’s railway traditions, this chai is earthy, nostalgic, and comforting. A rustic blend that reduces fatigue, warms the body, and soothes the soul — just like chai served in clay cups at Howrah station.
Why It’s Popular
From the busy Howrah Station platforms to the bustling streets near Howrah Bridge, clay-cup chai (matka chai) is a cultural heartbeat of Kolkata. The earthy matka adds its own aroma, making every sip unique and nostalgic.
Historical / Street Story
Over a century old, the tradition of serving spiced tea in clay cups began as an eco-friendly practice. Travelers at the station and locals near the bridge embraced it as a symbol of Kolkata’s chai culture. Today, sipping hot, spiced chai in a matka is as iconic as watching the sunrise over the Howrah Bridge.
