Chai & Tea

Kashmiri chai,
the way it should be.

Five chai on the board, each brewed rather than poured from a flask. The Blush Kashmiri Velvet is the one people come to Streetsville for — pink, slow-cooked, finished with rose. Alongside it, a loose-leaf tea bar of eleven.

Walnut tables and red velvet banquettes at Knight & Rose Café, each set with a rose under glass.

The chai board

Brewed, not poured.

Royal Karak and Karak Cardamom for strength — the short, dark, properly boiled kind. Masala Heritage for spice. Cardamom Gold sits between the two. And the Blush Kashmiri Velvet, pink from slow cooking rather than colouring, finished with rose.

All five are served hot or over ice. Every one of them is $5.

The tea bar

Eleven leaves,
one teapot.

Earl Grey, London Fog, Japanese Sencha, Thé Au Jasmin, Vergers Des Ming, Vallée Du Nil, La Chamomile, English Breakfast, Touareg, Sencha Lemon and Green Passion — curated loose-leaf, $4 each. Add the teapot for $4 and it becomes something to sit over.
