The Chai Bar

Chai is a lot more than just a beverage. It is so deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of India that it finds a rightful position in every aspect of life. It takes practice and patience to brew this surprisingly simple to make drink. For those who get it right, there is nothing quite like it. A fresh and delicious cup of chai is a work of alchemy. At The Chai Bar we endeavor to bring to the American lifestyle this wonderful experience called chai in its most authentic form. We understand that a truly satisfying drink of chai stems from a labor of love, which is why our drinks are handcrafted in small batches and locally made in Philadelphia, similar to the famed ‘chai wallahs,’ or chai makers, in India. Our founder, Madura, has welcomed inspiration from every corner of India to create an ensemble of distinct drinks, making the traditional innovative. We’re the chai you never had!
