The sign for Bitoo Shai Adani sits above a simple storefront, glowing with the promise of Adeni tea. This shop centers on a specific brewing technique brought over from Yemen, where black tea is boiled with evaporated milk, cardamom, cloves, and ginger until it turns a deep, creamy amber. Locals crowd the counter in the late afternoon because this version of chai remains a staple of the city’s social rhythm, serving as the go-to drink for quick, caffeinated conversations between work and dinner.
