The tea maker....(no editing)

The tea maker....(no editing)
Or chai wallah. Kolkata...and he still uses small disposable clay cups. The tea was wonderful! He sits here all day from early morning til late evening! The clay cups, single use, have been used in India for hundreds of years. They are hygienic, degrade to mere soil, and provide jobs to manufacture. Many other places in India now use plastic or waxed paper...which is an environmental night mare, as they are just thrown all over the ground.
