Mai Shai Tea Spot, Ilorin

in STEEM FOR BETTERLIFE2 months ago (edited)

Today, I am so interested in participating in this Season 28 of the engagement challenge, where each participant will drop beautiful locations from their area and pin them on the Steem Atlas map.

Row of milk and coffee are hang to see by the customers

Mai Shai tea shop is one of the tea sellers we have in our area, located on Kaima Express Road in Ilorin. This tea seller sells both milk tea and coffee tea, depending on how you will like to enjoy yourself.

They also sell fried eggs and noodles because different people patronize what they offer. Mai Shai serves quality tea, and this Hausa man has been in this exact location for a long time, where he has used his earnings to take care of himself. He likes to collect cash, although he may accept transfers as well, while some do not like to use transfers due to the fake alerts they normally receive on their phones.

The service they offer is excellent, and most of these Hausa men are always engaged in this service; they are also jovial when relating to customers. They have a small structure designed where people can sit comfortably and receive fresh air. The small shop they built has a roof overhead so that it can serve as shade during hot weather or rain.

What is the most iconic beverage in your country, coffee or tea?

Both coffee and tea are served in my country, and like I said before, the only tribe that is normally involved in this work is the Hausa people, who put in more effort to ensure everyone enjoys the unique taste of it.

Coffee is good for the body because everyone loves it due to its nutritional value and it also promotes our well-being. Both coffee and tea are popular in my country because of their flavor as well as promoting togetherness within the family setting.

Briefly describe your favorite coffee or tea and what time of day you usually enjoy it.

I used hot water to enjoy it flavor

My favorite coffee is Topcafe, which I usually enjoy in the afternoon because at that time, after I finish drinking it, I may experience good sleep, and by the time I wake up, I would have noticed that my brain functions positively and I also gain more strength to carry out my daily activities.

Coffee is good for the body, and I don't like to mix sugar with it because sugar is already in it. Most of the coffee I am talking about is produced in Nigeria, and I like to enjoy it when I prepare it with hot water so that it can bring out the sweetness.

What is the ideal accompaniment (cake, bread, cookies, etc.) to enjoy with that beverage?

Topcafe my favorite brand

I prefer bread more than anything. In fact, bread and coffee or tea are popular in Nigeria, where both young and old people usually enjoy its good taste. I like bread 🍞, especially the soft kind, to eat with coffee because it is so delicious, and it's a perfect combination that everyone loves.

Bread and tea or coffee usually help our stomachs feel full. Dipping bread into hot tea or coffee gives us more energy, and it's the best breakfast that satisfies the beginning of our day. It's a healthy food that helps us completely enjoy a quality life.
