Chai Offerings

Signature Ethiopian Chai (Shai) — Milk-Based

Our signature preparation. A warming blend of black tea and traditional spices, brewed with milk and served sweet. Rich, comforting, and meant to be enjoyed slowly — this version reflects how shai is most often shared during long conversations and lingering moments.


Ethiopian Chai (Shai) — Black Tea 

The same black tea and traditional spices, brewed in water and served sweet. Lighter and more aromatic, this version highlights the spices while offering a clean, grounding cup. 


Both preparations use the same spice blend — the difference is in the brew.

Q&A

What is Shai?

Shai (pronounced shy or shah-hee) is the Amharic word for tea. In Ethiopia, it’s traditionally black tea with spices enjoyed sweet. House of Sadah’s signature preparation is inspired by this tradition, brewed with spices and milk to reflect how shai is often shared in everyday life and long conversations.

What does “Sadah” mean?

Sadah is inspired by my mother’s name, Saada (pronounced sah-dah). It reflects the warmth, strength, and sense of home she created for everyone around her.
