This Chennai beachside stall serves coffee in coconut shells | The Hindu

Meet Dheena, a #teashop owner in #Chennai.

He has set up a unique tea stall near the popular hotspot, Marina beach.

The beach is usually filled with tea stalls and eateries.

But Dheena knew his shop had to stand out to be known to others.

Everyone around him served beverages in plastic, paper or glass But Dheena chose to serve tea or coffee in natural cutlery.

He now serves beverages in cups made of coconut shells

Initially, he bought quite a lot of cups and started this venture

But over time, he found that it was not viable and simultaneously hired a few persons to make coconut shells exclusively for the shop

Now, he uses close to 60-70 cups in the shop

Dheena also believes that it is healthy for people to use coconut shells as cutlery

Despite inflation and rising costs, he also offers black coffee for just one rupee every Monday
