About Our Chai
We brew chai the way it’s meant to be — bold, flavorful, and rooted in tradition. From handcrafted blends to instant sachets and iced teas, every product is inspired by global chai culture and crafted for the modern lifestyle.
Yes! Our loose-leaf tea blends are made with high-quality tea leaves, real spices, and pure ingredients — no artificial flavors. Our Instant Chai sachets, however, are formulated using the highest quality extracts and our proprietary blends for the perfect chai cup on the go.
Many of our blends are vegan when prepared with plant-based milk. Our instant sachets are dairy-based, but we’re developing more plant-friendly options soon.
Chai is tea. In Hindi, “chai” means tea. So technically, “chai tea” means “tea tea.” We just call it chai — authentic, the way it should be.
Brewing & Enjoying
Brew them like a traditional chaiwala would — simmer with water, milk, and sugar (to taste), then strain and enjoy. No shortcuts, just soul.
Use a French press, electric kettle + strainer as an alternative fix. Make sure you keep it brewing for longer. Or grab our instant sachets for a quick fix.

Sustainability & Sourcing
Our base blend is a curated mix of teas sourced directly from Assam, India, and Kenya. We took great care to select sustainable and socially conscious tea estates through our partners at Lipton Tea & Infusions. This tea is then blended and crafted with real, locally sourced spices here in the UAE.
We’re moving toward recyclable and eco-conscious packaging across all categories.
