Tehseeb Tea Stall

Tehseeb Tea Stall is located right near the Awqaf Complex in Hazratbal. We are very close to Kashmir University in Srinagar. It’s a spot where a lot of students and locals gather. The weather here in Srinagar can get quite cold, so a hot cup of tea is something people are always looking for. We open up early in the morning when the mist is still on the lake. The stall is just a small place, nothing fancy at all. We have a big samovar going most of the day. People come by between their classes at the university or on their way to the mosque. It’s a place for a quick break and maybe a little conversation. We don't have a big menu. It's mostly just tea and maybe some local bread or snacks. We’ve seen many groups of students graduate and move on over the years. The area around Hazratbal is always peaceful, even when it’s busy. We just focus on keeping the tea hot and the fire going. It's a simple business. We don't need much to keep things running. Most of our regulars have been coming here for years. They know where we are, right by the complex. It’s just a part of the daily routine for a lot of people in this part of Srinagar. We aren't looking to change anything; we just like being the local tea spot.
