Project Description

The Parra Tea Stall is a humble yet vibrant space where tradition and simplicity come alive. Nestled under the shade of a sprawling banyan tree, it serves as a retreat for weary travelers, daily workers, and old friends looking to reconnect over a warm cup of chai.

The stall itself is minimal—an open-flame stove, a wooden counter, and shelves lined with clay kulhads. The aroma of freshly brewed tea mixed with spices drifts through the air, drawing in customers. Seating is simple yet inviting—low wooden benches, rustic charpoys, and a few upturned crates, all arranged casually to encourage conversation.

A chalkboard leans against the counter, listing a handful of offerings—steaming chai, crispy samosas, and crunchy biscuits, all served with a smile. The background hum of an old radio, playing classic tunes, adds to the stall’s nostalgic charm. Time slows down here, allowing moments of laughter, debate, and reflection to flow freely.

More than just a tea stall, Parra is a place of stories and community. Strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends, and every cup poured carries a piece of tradition. Whether it’s a quick tea break or an evening spent in deep conversation, the Parra Tea Stall remains a timeless symbol of warmth, connection, and the simple joys of life.
