There are many chai stands on the streets of Mumbai, but there are also many sugar cane juice stands

India is often thought of as a tea-producing country, typified by Assam and Darjeeling. And one might think that it is a country where everyone drinks chai. That is certainly not wrong. Walking around town, one can easily enjoy authentic chai at chai stands here and there, with the steam rising from the stands.

However, the country is also surprisingly one of the top ten coffee producing countries in the world. However, coffee is not a major presence in Mumbai, at least not in this part of the city. Instead, you will often see sugarcane juice stands around town. The stand in the photo offers fresh sugarcane juice squeezed on the spot. These stands are scattered all over the city, as many as there are chai stands.

Mumbai is a hot city. It is no wonder that not only hot chai, but also not-so-hot sugarcane juice, though not cold, is popular. Sugarcane was piled haphazardly on the roof of the stand.
