Chai
Kenya
Kenya is one of the world's top tea producers. The tea culture is as much about the communal act of drinking as the drink itself.
Kenyan milky spiced tea — black tea simmered with milk, ginger and spices until deeply aromatic. Kenya grows some of the world's finest black tea.

Chef's Tip
Kenyan chai is simmered, not steeped — the long simmer creates a thick, rich brew.
