Kulhad, or clay pots, have been a part of Indian culture for decades. Kulhads are handmade clay pots with a history dating back to the later Indus Valley Civilisation in India. And thus begins our tradition of making tea with Kulhads, which has become a habit for us.

A cup of hot chai from a roadside tapri evokes strong feelings in Indians. In fact, it is something that many people do on a daily basis. Our appreciation for chai grows when it is served in a kulhad. This is a distinct sensation.

What Are the Advantages of Kulhads?

In Kulhads, the taste of tea is divine!

It's no surprise that we enjoy drinking tea from kulhads. When we drink kulhad chai, the taste, essence, and aroma change. The kulhad's burnt clay adds a stunning flavour to the chai, and it feels soothing to drink. It's also a different sensation to sip kulhad chai. Every college student must spend time on a roadside tapri, standing with friends, drinking kulhad chai, and having a good time.

Kulhads aid in digestion 

Clay pots' alkaline nature prevents excessive acid production in the gut. This aids in the prevention of gastrointestinal issues that can result in sour burps and other digestive issues.

Chemical-free product

Chemicals in foam and plastic cups can harm our bodies and stomachs. The benefit of drinking tea in a kulhad is that the organic product is chemical-free, so there are no negative side effects.

Kulhads are hygienic

Kulhad is primarily used and thrown. This eliminates the need to repeatedly wash them with water and chemicals. Therefore, they are more hygienic. 

Kulhads are beneficial to the environment.

Kulhad's hot beverage has a pleasant aroma and taste. Traditional Kulhads are 100% compostable and do not harm the environment because they are nothing more than baked clay soil that does not harm nature even if discarded in a landfill or the sea.

Source of employment 

Kulhads are a source of employment for the potter community in India. Many villages even today depend upon pottery. For them, kulhads can become a source of regular employment if more and more cafes engage in kulhad chai or coffee. 

In many ways, the kulhad is a great alternative that has the approval of many health experts.
