Tea is an essential drink of our day to day life. I know so many of you are tea lovers and drink tea 3 to 4 times a day .Tea and its business has been rising in India for a long time. I think before our independence , there was a tea trading monopoly of the East India Company in India . Tea is basically leaf and prepared through different methods , sometimes with milk and sometimes with lemon. I like to drink lemon tea usually , but when it comes with milk I would like to take in Kulhad ,now you are wondering what Kulhad is ? What is kulhad tea? Basically when we drink tea in an earthen pot it becomes kulhad chai .
People drink tea in different vessels like Glass Cup , plastic cup, paper cup , metal cup, China cup etc . but generally we use either plastic or paper cup , that is not good for our health , plastic or paper mix with hot tea and to our stomach some study find that it leading many various disease while intaking tea in plastic or paper cup. As we all know that metal and China cups are quite more costly so it is not possible to use them everywhere especially in shops where a large number of people come to drink tea , so the last option is an earthen pot. It does not react with hot tea so it retains its nutrients inside it . It is also eco-friendly and does not pollute our environment , it is cheaper than other cups , it generates employment for small pot makers and many more benefits to using this kulhad while drinking tea .

How did these kulhad form or manufacture ?
They are formed or manufactured by potters with clay , they bring soil from field mash with water and make it soft so as to give shape to it . they give shape on potter wheel then leave it in sunlight for few days they make sure also that no water can contact it , if water will come into contact it will defame and loose their structure , after few day they put inside it in hot chamber that is furnace , this give strength and hardness of that cup , it usually takes 48 to 72 hours to day and become more solid , and the last step is coloured them with certain colour we called it maroon .
In my locality or area many people started their business in Tea and after the covid period it came into trend because it is one time use . I added so many Tea shops on the map, many of them created by me and some of them updated , but everywhere the demand for this kulhad is growing.
