In the picturesque setting of Safari 99, located near the historical treasures of Taxila, a unique tea experience awaits the discerning visitor. Tabaq Roshan Chai, served in traditional terracotta cups, offers more than just warmth and refreshment—it is a sip of the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan.
The Charm of Terracotta Cups
Terracotta, a type of earthenware, is a traditional material used in the subcontinent for making cups known locally as “kulhads.” The use of these cups at Safari 99 is a nod to ancient practices, believed to impart a distinct earthy flavor that enhances the tea’s natural aromatics. These cups are not only biodegradable but also add a rustic charm to the tea-drinking experience, making each sip a connection to the earth and its elements.
Brewing Tabaq Roshan Chai
Tabaq Roshan Chai is not just any tea; it is a carefully crafted blend of premium black tea leaves and a selection of fresh spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Each ingredient is chosen for its quality and aroma, ensuring that the chai offers a robust and comforting experience. The preparation of this chai involves a slow brewing process, where the spices are simmered with the tea leaves to release their full flavor and health benefits, creating a potent concoction that revives and soothes.
Cultural Significance
In Pakistan, chai is more than just a beverage; it’s a vital part of social and family gatherings. The act of sharing chai transcends the mere act of drinking, evolving into a communal experience that fosters conversation and builds relationships. At Safari 99, serving Tabaq Roshan Chai in terracotta cups is a homage to these traditions, offering guests a taste of local hospitality and warmth.
