In Sudan, the day begins and ends with this cup. Creamy, sweet, and warmly spiced, Shay bi Laban is the milk tea that has welcomed guests, marked celebrations, and offered comfort in Sudanese homes for generations.
Black tea brewed with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, then enriched with milk until it turns the colour of desert sand at dusk. The spices bloom in the warmth, filling each sip with an aromatic depth that lingers gently. The sweetness is generous, as Sudanese tea tradition prefers it, making this a drink meant to be savoured slowly.
More than a beverage, this is ritual. The cup offered when you arrive, the warmth shared when the evening grows quiet. One sip and you are home.
