Chay Anyone?

Chay or tea is considered a symbol of hospitality in Pashtun community. I was always offered chay in the Old City of Peshawar or in NWFP* wherever I go.

But in Peshawer and NWFP there are 2 types of tea that are always being served, one is 'Chay' which is a tea with boiled milk ; the other one is 'Kava' or green tea , without milk served in a small bowl like the Chinese do. Both are added sugar.

Photo was taken in Khyber Bazaar in Peshawer Old city , where tea is made to order and delivered to respective shops in the Bazaar.
