Café Aroma
First week back home in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and best believe it I am already Chai finding!
The heat in Dar es Salaam is unbearable at the moment so we are all in an everlasting search for the shade and/or air conditioning. Coffee shops are a great place to find both a shade and free air conditioning in Dar es Salaam. So, I just had to enter the first one I could find. Close to where I stay is Cafe Aroma. Any trip to a coffee shop is a chance to try a fresh Chai and today was not going to be any different.
Chai Diaries: An Introduction
Chai, the Swahili word for tea is perhaps the third most popular Swahili phrase next to “Hakuna Matata” and “Jambo.” The reason for the word’s popularity is that there is an Indian spiced tea that has taken over coffee shops worldwide also called Chai.
Being a tea fanatic and coffee shop lover, it was only a matter of time until I stumbled upon this drink.

If you enjoy live music and were not there last night then sister, girlfriend, you absolutely missed out! Isack is one of the most amazing performers I have ever seen. He is so lively! You can really tell he is passionate about music in the way he performs.
