Significado
A strong desire to drink tea.
Contexto cultural
In Kolkata, 'Chayer Trishna' is often satisfied at a roadside 'Dada-r dokan' (brother's shop) where tea is served in 'Matir Bhanr' (clay cups). The act of breaking the cup after use is part of the ritual. In Dhaka, the 'Tong-er Cha' culture is huge. People gather at small wooden shacks. 'Chayer Trishna' here is often paired with 'Muri' (puffed rice) or biscuits. In the tea-growing regions, the phrase takes on a more connoisseur-like tone. People might have a 'thirst' for a specific flush (first flush or second flush) of tea. For Bengalis living abroad, 'Chayer Trishna' is a nostalgic link to home. They often seek out specific brands like 'Tata Tea' or 'Ispahani' to satisfy this specific cultural thirst.

Don't use with 'Khide'
