Our story, over chai

About Sema Chai

Chai na mazungumzo—tea and conversations. Sema Chai starts with a familiar Kenyan milk tea and a simple idea: every cup comes with a conversation starter.

Our Chai

Choose tangawizi, masala, ilachi or mdalasini. Whether you prefer ginger, a spice blend, cardamom or cinnamon, there is a cup to make your tea break your own.

Starting in Utawala

We are starting close to home, with neighbours and friends, shops and salons, and flask delivery for small offices. Today's chai and question are shared on WhatsApp Status. Pre-orders are confirmed before payment by M-Pesa, and that payment helps buy the ingredients.

A Story Worth Sharing

Our weekly Chai ya Jumapili question invites memories, comments and voice notes. We ask permission before featuring anyone's story. Who taught you to make chai? Who would you invite for a cup today?
