Babu Chai

Babu Chai is a known name in Kiponda for the evening tea gatherings that take place in the narrow streets of Stone Town. These gatherings center on the preparation of spiced tea, a staple of local life that reflects the history of the spice trade in Zanzibar. For decades, the island has been recognized for the cultivation of cloves, cinnamon, and pepper, ingredients that continue to define the flavors found in cups served across the neighborhood.
