I treat tea like wine; every sip has a note, a mood: Gargee RoyChowdhury

For actor Gargee RoyChowdhury, tea is a consuming obsession governed by the strict precision of a sommelier. Her dedicated tea corner houses strictly sourced first and second flush Darjeeling teas, treated with absolute reverence.

Her brewing process is uncompromising: she uses only distilled water to protect the purity of the liquor, noting that even sixty seconds of over-steeping ruins the leaf's character. To ensure she catches every shifting note, her ritual requires total sensory isolation. She refuses to pair her Darjeeling with snacks, arguing that food only sabotages the flavour profile of the tea.
