TEH TARIK

Wildly popular in South East Asia ,the drink has been a huge favorite in Asian and Western markets alike with its spicy and aromatic taste .

The humble yet incredibly popular the Teh-Tarik has its origins from the ubiquitous Indian Chai  . Literally meaning "pull tea", the drink is prepared using out-stretched hands to pour piping hot tea from a mug into a waiting glass. The higher the pull the thicker the froth. Often found in Indian hawker stalls or restaurants, preparing the teh-tarik is both an art and science.

In expert hands, the action of streaming tea back and forth the containers is a feast for the eyes. This visual treat involves vigourous almost acrobatic like-movements of the hands and arms, as the tea steadily spills into receiving ends. Poetry in motion.

There is a reason behind this unusual method of serving tea. It is believed that the technique of stretching the tea helps it to mix well with another essential ingredient, the condense milk. Thus, bringing out the strong aroma and the subtle taste of tea. Also, the beverage cools faster this way. Style with substance.

It is a creation of sheer simplicity with exquisite taste. For many it represents the perfect morning indulgence or the ideal evening luxury.  More than a match for any fancy beverage creation ,it enchants the taste buds with its elemental pleasures. Truly a drink par excellence!
