Quote: Tea Stalls

Pathans are very fond of Qahwah and other varieties of tea. Tea stalls are, therefore, a common feature of the city. The business streets of Peshawar specialise in different trades. Yet tea stalls can be seen almost everywhere. These are about six feet wide and six feet deep with a narrow passage opening to the street. Usually there is the same kind of equipment which includes a brass samovar, and china cups and teapots. The owner sits near the fireplace with a warm and pleasant smile on his face.

The tea stalls cater for a variety of tastes; some of them specialise in black tea; others, in Kashmiri tea. Most of the tea-stalls, however, serve “qahwah” which is a national drink of Pathans. The care taken in its preparation reflects on the refined taste of Peshawaris. Unquote

P.S. The place, people and the preparation method in this videoclip of Naqash and Saad are exactly what J. Spain wrote in his travelogue decades ago.
