“Cha ar biskoot” (tea and biscuits) is Bangalee’s favourite quick grab. And strong and flavoursome tea is our favourite. Looking for premium tea in Dhaka can be a tad difficult now but once the city boasted dedicated shops that sold different grades and blends of local tea.
There are a total of five types of tea produced in the country, including green tea (unfermented), black tea (fully fermented), Oolong tea (partially fermented), instant tea (water soluble), and white tea.
I wonder what it is in a cup of tea that makes it so invigorating. The obvious answer would be the stimulant, caffeine, or the particular flavour of the leaves seeping into the hot water and the aroma that takes over your senses.
Review of Anwarul Azim’s book ‘My Life in Tea’ (The University Press Limited, 2023)
Rises prices and a lack of festive election atmosphere didnt help tea sales across the country
Bumper yields have made tea production in Bangladesh reach a historic high in 2023, according to industry people
Every morning, a cuppa prepared in deshi-style is what most Bengalis crave no matter what part of the world they live in.
It's no secret that we Bangladeshis love our tea.
Cha is a beverage that brings people closer, effortlessly complements our ‘adda’ sessions, and adds warmth to our chilly evenings. As winter has announced its arrival, matka cha is trending once again. Its smoky and sweet flavour is a pure delight to the taste buds that would give the cinnamon latte or luxurious espresso from any 5-star hotel a run for its money!

If you have a veranda decked out with plants and ferns, place two garden chairs and the setting is perfect for a tea. Simply spread the tea table for your spouse and yourself, with just two cups of steaming milk tea and ghee toast, and it is party enough. In this busy metro-life of yours, you two do not have the luxury to spend quality time together let alone enjoy a cup of tea in silence.
