CHAI TEA 2020!

Picture
Plans are afoot for more early morning Chai at Lodestar 2020.

Chai Wallah Peter Livingston wants to share his skills and art with others, so Richard Larson jumped onboard and began training in May.



Check out Peter instructing Richard Larson in his first lesson, documented by Tracy Mikkelson, in the video below:


Read Peter's narrative description and Chai Tea recipe linked HERE.

You can also check out the Blog Peter wrote as BTL 2018 approached.


Chai at BTL 2018 was a huge success, and drew crowds of helpers and fans!

This story began long ago, on a busy street in India.

Thank You so much Ajay Kushwaha for sharing about how to make Chai the real Indian way.

Remember how I WANT TO BE A CHAI WALLAH - IN CALIFORNIA??? So I "accidentally" found this guy. (A lot of people in India are referred to as a "guy;" or "this guy;" or "that guy;" or "a guy;" or maybe even "the guy.") So "the guy" at the Ananda Sangha office said that there is "a guy" down the street who sells art and prepares packages for shipping. I was told to check with "that guy" to see if he could help me prepare the package that I needed to send home.

Well, "that guy" was Ajay, and he WAS able to help me wrap my package to Indian Post Office specs. In the process, he mentioned that he had been a Chai Wallah for over 5 years. Game on!

In this video Ajay conveys the "traditional way" way of making Chai. Using a wood or charcoal fire. And clay pottery cups to drink out of.

Note the art on the wall that Ajay sells in his shop.
