Chai is the heart of every Iraqi morning, and ours is brewed the traditional way, strong black tea steeped slowly with cardamom, milk and a touch of sweetness into a rich, creamy karak. Every cup is poured with the same care our family has used for four generations. Try our authentic Iraqi karak chai today.
