Karak Chai  ·  Edinburgh

chaichii

brewing culture through tea

Our Story

Born in the Gulf,
brewed in Edinburgh.

Growing up in Dubai, Karak chai wasn't just a drink. It was a ritual — a moment of comfort, connection, and belonging. Millions across the UAE know that feeling. Chaichii was born from it.

Karak is Dubai's answer to Indian masala chai: brought to the Gulf by the South Asian community who built the city, then transformed by Emirati culture into something entirely its own. Spiced, milky, bold, and deeply warming. The taste of a generation.

"Karak chai is to Dubai what espresso is to Italy — it's the drink that defines a city's daily rhythm."
