Our Story

A deeply nostalgic drink

Growing up, “شاهي حليب” (milk tea) felt like a treat, almost like dessert. It was served on special occasions, and was always something I looked forward to. As I began making my own, I brought it everywhere, and friends were constantly asking for “my chai” and the recipe. That love eventually grew into The Cardamom Club: a thoughtfully prepared blend that makes it easier to recreate the warm, aromatic chai I grew up with at home.
