How the humble cuppa is getting elevated to a curated tea experience

- VAISHALI DAR

WHOEVER SAID YOU can’t have the best of both worlds probably didn’t try the apple pie paratha—crispy, flaky goodness with cinnamon-spiced apple sweetness on the inside, topped with vanilla ice cream, a hint of chocolate drizzle and mint.

The result is not just a creative fusion but a smorgasbord of flavours, combining the warmth of an Indian tradition and the timelessness of a classic American dessert.

If that’s what you are craving right now, you can visit any of the Ahmedabad-based Wagh Bakri Tea Group’s 50 tea lounges across India. The apple pie paratha is part of, the newly launched ‘Rock & Roll’ menu, perfectly paired with a steaming cup of chai.

“India is evolving as a tea-drinking nation, and chai lovers today are open to experimentation. From Irani chai and cutting chai to Kashmiri kahwa and even bubble tea, consumers are tasting and comparing flavours across our outlets,” Sanjay Singal, CEO of Wagh Bakri Tea Group, tells FE.
