Serendipi-tea

Beverages are not just about quenching our thirst, but also have the power to evoke memories and tell stories, from the first sip of a childhood favourite to the exotic flavours discovered on travels. There is a different experience in the act and process of preparing and consuming a beverage. From selecting the ingredients to the final serving, each step in the process contributes to the overall experience and enjoyment of the drink. The act of preparing, serving, and consuming beverages can vary with different cultures, traditions, places, memories, experiences, etc. It can be a sensory and social experience that engages us in the act by putting care and attention in the process that can be very personal or something that brings people together. The aim is to design a tea maker to make tea in a moving vehicle and elevate the experience of making and drinking Chai. The individual can enjoy the experience by engaging in the practice. Please check the additional work for a detailed process.
