Mi Chaii was born in Bradford but has now expanded its brand right across the country. The first store opened on Great Horton Road just over a year-and-a-half ago, in September 2019, but the concept delves back further. Chai is a type of spiced tea where traditional leaves are mixed with milk, water and aromatic herbs and spices. It originates in India and has gained worldwide popularity in recent years. Mi Chaii s website states: The ideas behind Mi Chaii go back to the arrival of our father from the sub-continent in 1964 – he brought traditional chaii with him and he has been enjoying that tradition ever since.
