Excitingly, these are not only the men who love tea, but women equally like it. When asked one of the tea-lovers said I came from Lahore and this tea is outstandingly delicious. Another said we cannot get refreshed unless we drink it. Another went on to say the ambience is adding more flavor and help us spend memorable time.
Amid the extreme political and social upheavals, stalls like this help people get together and share the activities they have been involved throughout the day. Furthermore having so many varieties of tea under one roof is quite phenomenal. Usually only one form of tea is found in one stall and it rarely happens that more than one form of tea is found under one roof. Karachiites are indeed lucky.
