Chai Chats by Tea Afar

Drop by to share tea and sweets from a different culture each week and chat about any and everything. Tea is the medium for a ritual that is practiced daily around the world. Though the ritual may vary, tea carves out time and space for hospitality, tradition and mediation. Come share with us. 

This week's theme is attaya, small bites and traditions from Senegal hosted by Samba Dioum. Samba is a musician from Dakar, Senegal. He makes tea in the Senegalese tradition as he learned from his family.
