India’s love for tea knows no bounds. For some it is the morning elixir, for others it is a break companion during long work hours. But is a cup worth Rs 1,000?

Recently, the internet was amazed to know about an exotic tea variety worth Rs 1,000 being sold at a stall in Kolkata’s Mukundpur. Partha Pratim Ganguly, the owner and founder of Nirjash Tea Stall, as per a report in NDTV Food, said that he started the business on January 6, 2014 after quitting his full-time job with a private firm.
