In the mix of fancy cuisines at posh restaurants, a tea date might sound like an outdated idea for a few couples. But then that’s how so many romantic stories have blossomed all this time and ended in strong relationships.

A casual evening-outing with her at the nearby chai ki tapri. Waking up to him for a lovely cup of delight and his grinning smile. Those late-night strolls with her, ending up at a tea stall. Those rainy days of sitting with that favorite person, with Rafi Sahab songs in the background and sipping tea.

In India, where chai is the part of nearly everything, it ought to be just as big even in love stories. And it’s sure for countless couples who have shared their love, anger, serious discussions, fights, convincing joys, and so many wonderful emotions over a cup of tea.

For many, tea is much more than just another beverage. It’s a mark that has fostered love and care for many couples, navigating them in strong and everlasting relationships. “Let’s go out for tea” is an emblem of where it all started. “I need some tea” is an expression that paved way for many to-be wonderful memories.

So, while many couples may already have their exciting Valentine’s Day plan ready, let’s take a moment to celebrate the stories of those- whose togetherness is made on a cup of strong, refreshing and aromatic tea. Here’s wishing them a lifetime of happiness. Cheers!
