A single, weathered wooden stall sits near the Town Hall, defined by a stack of glass soda bottles and the constant plume of steam from a charcoal fire. Pandit Ji started brewing tea here in nineteen fifty-four, shortly after the Partition of India, when he arrived in Amritsar as a refugee. He built this business from a small cart, serving milky masala chai to clerks and laborers while manually mixing carbonated water for his signature lemon soda.
