#ChaiPecharcha | Dil Se Local Chai: The legacy of Aadya Amrut tyla Tea

Hello LGs,

I am adding my contribution to the most trending challenge of #chaipecharcha, and I decided to involve the owner of it, @TusharSuradkar, and our dear friend @ShubhamWaman for that. :slightly_smiling_face:

Before I get started, I would like to explain why the tea is known in India as “Amrut tulya.”

Since “Amrut” means nectar and “Tulya” means comparable, the term “Amrut Tulya” has Sanskrit roots. When combined, they represent “like nectar,” emphasizing the tea’s luscious aroma. Aiming to provide a sip that is nothing short of heavenly delight, this name reflects the classic charm and outstanding quality associated with such tea shops. Additionally, “Aadya” here refers to the alpha, or first!

I have been to this place several times before even Google Maps came into my life! :blush:

So, I decided to meet with Tushar and Shbham, here. We have a regular habit of meeting occasionally for some planning or even offline chats!

For generations, Aadya Amruttulya Tea, a pillar of Pune’s tea culture, has served their special masala chai to chai lovers, providing a comforting and nostalgic taste.

It is located in the thickest, business-oriented area of Pune, and it is more than just a place for tea because of its unaltered charm and rustic interiors, which serve as a bridge that unites people from all walks of life. While remaining traditional, taking a sip here is like going back in time. It is a perfect example of purely local, “Dil Se Local,” as we call it.

We, as local guides, are true to encourage the value of our heritage by supporting Aadya Amruttulya by reviews and whichever way it is possible.

By best wishes to a fantastic and also nostalgic topic, “Chai Pe Charcha” by Tushar. Raise your glass to history and celebrate with us.

Here is my review of the place.

छान चाय पे चर्चा त्यानिमित्ताने भेटता येतो आणि चहा म्हणजे वा वा
आपण पण करूया कधीतरी चाय पर चर्चाला..

This is the pure uniqueness of your post. I highly appreciate this gesture @AjitThite.

What else could have been better than this which involved the ideator of the concept himself.

Very nicely and concisely explained the origin of tea and the greatness of the place you visited.

India runs on Tea and local guides are no exception.
I consume between 5-8 cups of tea per day :smiley:

I had heard about Pune’s first Amrut Tulya for many years but did not know its location. Google Maps comes to help @AjitThite

The experience we had there yesterday was a memorable one :+1:
Let’s continue exploring Pune’s lesser known food joints and tea spots - Let’s be Dil se Local as we also connect with the outer world.

@AjitThite sir :heart_eyes: this place is truly authentic. Especially when such traditional stores retaining their authenticity even today in this competitive modern world is appreciable.

I really wish to be there with you and @TusharSuradkar sir, the man who can survive with only tea even in Mars :joy: jus kidding. I really admired his passion and love for tea in the recent meet-up and no doubt he’s the only rightful person to initiate “Chai pe charcha” :heart_eyes::folded_hands:t2:

Wonderful post on a truly nostalgic place like this, thank you for sharing @AjitThite dada. Amruttulya is an amazing name based on our roots, I’m sure the tea tastes just like nectar. Would love to visit this place soon.
