Experience
Best Enjoyed
While it’s sumptuous hot, Afghani chai is also delightful iced. Its gentle spice is perfect as is, but a dash of sweet alchemy from sugar or honey lifts the cardamom to new heights.
Best Served
Traditionally, Afghani tea is served in glass mugs, engraved glass tea cups or fine china, on a decorative metal tea tray. But they also believe it’s the taste and the company that matter most, so feel free to use your favourite tea cups.
Pairs Well With
An abundance of traditional sweets, including sugar coated almonds (noqul), Afghani cookies (kulcha) and dried fruit and nuts. But is also perfect on its own!
