One can get an excellent cup of tea from any place in India, roadside tea stalls in Bombay, small restaurants (in Bangalore), railway platforms (maybe watery), etc. but always with milk. This is the standard that most Indians are used to and is always readily available.
Then why is it that the domestic airlines cannot serve an ordinary cup of 'chai' that the ordinary 'chaiwallah' is able to provide and that too at a moment's notice? Why do they need to serve it separately with milk? For a 2-3 hour flight, it should be much easier to have tea readily prepared in canisters and just poured out.
Why this need for black tea and coffee? This is India for heaven's sake
It seems the airlines are quite a bit alienated from the 'aam junta'!

True - but at least they could provide the basic variation that one gets anywhere?

Well that is what typically happens if you want coffee in a McDonald's in the US. You pay, get a tray with an empty cup, you fill up the coffee, add creamer and sugar, get a seat, drink it and then clear the tray - and you pay for this priviledge.
What is CCD?

The other day I went to CCD .....asked for Assam tea....they dutifully brought me a tray with an assortment of jars and cups and asked me to make myself some good chai.
I was like: What in the holy fuck is wrong with you guys? I ask you for tea and you bring me hot water, milk, sugar and a tea bag and ask me to do it myself? What is the fucking cost of the tea? (30 bucks, sir)...Ok, I am going to pay you only half of that coz I do all the stupid work meself! If it were like this, I would've very well made myself a good strong cuppa at home for a pittance!
Live with it! Thats how its come to be!

PS: You just have to thank your stars that when you go into a trouser showroom they dont hand two separate pair of legs, a pelvic part, some thread, an inch tape and ask you to stitch your pants yourself! :))))))))))))))))))

Taste differs sixtyfeet.....
There may be preference in sugar,milk, or strength of the tea etc.
