SPECIFICATION
Bring the traditional style of Hyderabadi Irani chai preparation to your commercial kitchen with the ASHTOK Copper Irani Chai Set – Handa, Dabba & Milk Patila.
This three-piece copper tea preparation set is designed for Irani chai cafés, hotels, restaurants, tea shops and catering establishments. It includes a Copper Handa for tea decoction, Copper Dabba with Brass Tap for tea dispensing, and Copper Milk Patila for boiling and holding milk separately.
The vessels feature traditional Kalai / Tin Coating, as described in the ASHTOK product listing.
Available in three approximate serving options—50–60 Tea Cups, 100–120 Tea Cups and 140–160 Tea Cups—the set provides choices for different commercial tea-service requirements.
Whether you are searching for a Copper Irani Chai Set, Hyderabadi Irani Tea Set, Irani Chai Making Equipment or Commercial Copper Tea Set, this coordinated arrangement supports the traditional preparation and serving of Irani chai.
Each set contains three essential vessels:
1 Copper Handa: Used for preparing concentrated tea decoction.
1 Copper Dabba with Brass Tap: Used for holding and dispensing prepared black tea decoction.
1 Copper Milk Patila: Used for boiling and holding milk separately.
The arrangement allows tea decoction and milk to be prepared independently before they are combined according to the required taste and serving style.
Hyderabadi Irani chai is associated with a distinctive preparation style in which strong tea decoction and milk are prepared separately.
A dedicated Handa, Dabba and Milk Patila arrangement helps commercial tea makers organise the different stages of preparation and service.
The ASHTOK Copper Irani Tea Set combines traditional metalware design with equipment intended for this style of tea preparation.
The individual vessels have different functions during tea preparation.
The Copper Handa is used for preparing strong tea decoction by boiling or brewing tea leaves according to the preferred Irani chai recipe.
Preparing decoction separately allows the tea concentrate to be held independently until it is required for serving.
Use appropriate temperature control when heating the vessel, and protect its Kalai lining from excessive temperatures.
The Copper Dabba includes a brass tap designed for dispensing the prepared black tea decoction.
The tap allows tea-shop staff to dispense the required amount without repeatedly lifting and pouring from the vessel.
This feature is useful in cafés and commercial kitchens that prepare and serve multiple cups throughout the day.
Regular cleaning of the Dabba and brass tap is important to remove tea residue and maintain hygiene.
The Copper Milk Patila is used for heating and holding milk separately from the tea decoction.
Preparing milk independently is an important part of the traditional Hyderabadi Irani chai method.
The separate Patila allows tea makers to combine milk and decoction at serving time, depending on the preferred strength and flavour.
Always monitor milk while heating to help prevent boiling over or scorching.
The ASHTOK Copper Irani Chai Set is described as having traditional Kalai / Tin Coating.
The product listing states that Kalai is applied to both the inner and outer surfaces of the set.
Kalai is a traditional tin coating used on certain copper and brass utensils.
When properly applied and maintained, tin lining provides a food-contact surface that separates the beverage from the underlying copper.
The condition of the lining should be checked regularly, especially when the equipment is used commercially.
Copper cookware with damaged or significantly worn tin lining should not continue to be used for food or beverage preparation until the lining has been properly restored.
Inspect the surface for exposed copper, worn patches and other visible damage.
Professional re-tinning, traditionally known as Re-Kalai, may be required as the coating wears with use.
Tin lining can be damaged by excessive heat.
Avoid prolonged empty heating, uncontrolled high flames, abrasive scraping and heating conditions unsuitable for tin-lined copper cookware.
Use the vessels according to the manufacturer's cooking and care instructions.

ASHTOK offers the Copper Irani Chai Set in three approximate tea-serving options.
The 50–60 Tea Cup variant is the smallest available option.
It can be considered for smaller Irani chai shops, cafés, restaurants and tea counters with moderate serving requirements.
This variant includes the Copper Handa, Copper Dabba with Brass Tap and Copper Milk Patila.
The 100–120 Tea Cup variant offers a larger approximate serving range.
It can be considered for established cafés, restaurants and tea shops serving higher numbers of customers.
The same three-vessel preparation arrangement is included.
The 140–160 Tea Cup variant is the largest available option.
It may be suitable for busier tea shops, hotels, catering establishments and higher-volume tea-service operations.
Consider your expected customer demand, cup size, recipe, daily tea consumption and available kitchen equipment.
The three available options are:
50–60 Tea Cups
100–120 Tea Cups
140–160 Tea Cups
Important: These figures are approximate serving ranges, not guaranteed output or verified litre capacities. The actual number of servings depends on the size of each tea cup and the preparation method.
The ASHTOK Copper Irani Chai Set is intended for commercial tea preparation.
Its three dedicated vessels help separate decoction preparation, dispensing and milk heating.
This traditional copper tea set can be considered for:
Hyderabadi Irani Chai Shops
Traditional Tea Cafés
Hotels
Restaurants
Canteens
Commercial Kitchens
Catering Businesses
Event Tea Counters
The brass tap on the Dabba provides a practical dispensing arrangement during service.
Hotels and restaurants serving traditional Irani chai can use the separate vessels to organise tea preparation.
The Handa supports tea-decoction preparation, the Dabba supports dispensing and the Milk Patila is used for preparing milk.
This product is commercial tea equipment, not a household tea gift set containing cups and saucers.
Catering operations and event tea counters may require equipment suited to repeated preparation and dispensing.
The multiple serving options provide a choice based on anticipated demand.
Confirm the physical dimensions of each vessel, the available heating arrangement and service requirements before selecting a variant.

Traditional Hyderabadi Irani chai is commonly prepared by making tea decoction separately from milk.
Recipes differ in tea strength, sugar, spices, milk preparation and serving proportions.
Use the Handa to brew the tea decoction according to your preferred recipe.
Maintain suitable heat levels and avoid overheating the tin-lined surface.
Carefully transfer the prepared tea decoction to the Dabba.
The attached brass tap allows the required amount of decoction to be dispensed during tea service.
Handle hot liquids and metal vessels using appropriate protective equipment.
Heat milk separately in the Milk Patila according to the required preparation method.
Monitor the vessel while heating and avoid leaving milk unattended.
Dispense the prepared tea decoction and combine it with milk according to the desired strength and flavour.
Add sugar or other ingredients as required by the recipe.
Serve in suitable tea cups or glasses.
