The country's railway ministry has decided to sell earthenware tea from now on to reduce environmental pollution and prevent the spread of plastics, The Guardian reported. The most interesting feature of kulhads is not being painted and that differentiates a kulhads from a terra-cotta cup. India’s railways minister, Piyush Goyal said that kulhads will replace plastic cups as part of the Indian government’s goal of making India free of single-use plastic. Nearly 400 railway stations in India serve tea in kulhads and the target to the government is to make sure that all the railways stations in India serve tea only kulhads. Speaking from his own experience, Goyal said he was having tea in a kulhads and the taste was really different.
