Couric to all the vegans out there he's got you sorted what's this test the child that tea is really strong gave me a kick it's not as thick as I thought it was gonna be because it's an 8 ounce cup what is the ingredient that makes or breaks a chocolate like if you don't have this Chinese not getting meat today it's all about the child well experience we always say that what's the chai water showers tea brewing I know it's easy to speak about like having good energy but is there well what do you mean by that I need to show you [Music] [Laughter] I said hi gonna collect burgers you really magic Java update yeah he's like smiling the whole thing so now we have our final chai served in a clay cup why is it served in a click oh so that's how it's served in India cooler or a mad cow that's a mud cup we source it actually from associate supplier that supports women empowerment in India okay so the women in India actually make these yeah exactly Wow and sell them and have a business exactly you make the child wallet of India problem I taste quality it's not so sweet yeah and it's a tea I definitely felt that love and energy I think I think there's a not just from the chai wallah but the fact that it's sourced in a cup that's that's that's for social women empowerment in India just it feels like there's just a lot of good that's happening around this place I think that is the reason that you deserve you're the stars that you're getting on Google and that is why I wish you all the success and all the happiness in this project Childline thank you make us proud brother well amazing thank you so as well as the carrick the project chai wallah here in dubai have also brought the authentic cuisine like the street food of India right here so I've been thinking of an idea but I don't want to make that decision on an empty stomach so I'm gonna eat think and then let you know what we do next if the food's good is happening bismillah no word I'm good it's gonna happen so I just had a great callek but anyone that knows chai Couric the drink knows that it's something that's all across the UAE so why not test one in each emirate do you think yeah that easy you're not gonna stop me here I mean all for the video this is what we do for you so we're gonna go to each emirate seven Emirates in the United Arab Emirates in search for the country's best chai chemic what will we find we don't know but let the adventure begin here's the plan we're gonna Google the best collect I and every emirate and visit the ones with the highest rating and take a journey all the way from the capital city of Abu Dhabi to the end of the UAE at fagina alright so we've just entered the city of Abu Dhabi the capital of the United Arab Emirates one thing that a lot of people don't know is that abou Bobby makes up almost 90% of the United Arab Emirates landmass you'd be surprised how many people outside the UAE think that Dubai is the biggest city just kind of the most known city our second stop of the day is at the Abu Dhabi's famous shy mother wolf which is a family business that was started three years ago by selsun and abdullah abdullah he that claims they have the recipe for the perfect cup of tea let's put that to the test we're gonna do a little bit of investigative journalism here it's not enough to just say you have the perfect cup of tea I want to know how it's made what's your name and where you from Nigeria and you are the chef here and you make the Kellogg every day what makes your tea better than every other tea in Abu Dhabi is God and the love makes you think about the UAE a drink that originated in India being served in an Arab country made by a Nigerian national it's amazing I love this country as of today this Kerik has 167 reviews on Google and has received an average of four stars by far the highest amount of ratings with that rank so is it justified is it a fork does it deserve more doesn't deserve a little less let's find out Wow that is that is good that is good as a connoisseur what am i what am I looking for taste obviously you don't want a to sweet texture I like a good thick cut of some kind of feel like watery because what are you doing there an added bonus that I think would give it a 5 is they included a glucose biscuit that means your Sebastian Cala connoisseurs are like you know let's go up I'm like oh penis good job shy my book let's calico number lovey I think so so we are done in the capital city of Abu Dhabi we have had our cut off we have seen a bit of the city now it's on to the next one Shahji which is about an hour and a half drive here so see you there you know you've reached charger when you hit the traffic now we have just hit Sharjah the emirate just north of Dubai and some interesting facts about this city is it's the only emirate that borders all the other six emirates that make up the UAE Shahji prides itself on being one of the cultural capitals of the Arab world it is the city where the UAE s first school was built and founded now we are outside charges famous chef eval han cafe which translates into the boys of Elkanah now this cafe had over a thousand reviews on Google with a ranking of 4.1 stars so we're gonna test their chemic but something really cool about this place is it's open 24 hours a day what's special about Shimano come-come equation if you take a look at just the cars that are here the trucks here you have the Mercedes beds you have the taxis you have people from all walks of life coming together one cafe for a chemic unites us all you know what's already a good sign the form on top that's a very good sign that's something special right there so we're about to try this tea at Shabab Alcon cafeteria and this is a one dirham tea one that i'm kalak received a 4.1 stars from over a thousand reviews as we said which is enormous let's try it out Villa [Music] strong it's a strong tea it's got a kick to it and not so sweet nice thickness to it not too thick good quality tea I'm loving it another interesting character a lot of different restaurants and places like the experiment that's how you have things like masala chai or in different codecs you'll have spices like nutmeg cinnamon cardamon to spice things up there it could be a lot of fun and it could be a lot of different flavours depending on where you go so chemic is diverse to the red lights here in Ajman have smiley faces you know they say a smile can change your entire day here we're getting that day changed sitting in a red light who would have thought oh and it's a thumbs up on green that's really cool I like that and touchdown Adam on these smallest Emirates in the United Arab Emirates now a lot of people think that a jimana is a big distance away from Dubai but technically without traffic it only takes 13 minutes from dubai tribes month but like not technically with traffic you're talking about two and a half three hours legend has it that in the city of Ajman you will find a tea shop every hundred meters so let's find out why the real Kellet caffeine Ajman stands out amongst all of them all right every hundred meters they said so we're outside the real killer cafe we're gonna be trying the kalak here and there's a cafeteria right there and there's another cafeteria right across the street I guess they're right it's very small very quaint I like it nice design this is really nice see if you look inside here you see the saffron at the top oh it smells so good now what's interesting about this cafe it's how quickly it's gained in popularity these special kulluk is infamous in asthma and only in six months it has become one of the highest-rated cafeterias on Google Plus triumph this is the real Kellogg as opposed to all the fake fake characters up there oh it smells so good it's like you don't drink it for how good it's well Wow now this Kellogg has been given a rating of four point five on google reviews and I think that is justified I think this is the one that they got on the dot four point five and the one thing I'm noticing is a lot of people who drink this think it's very sweet but I haven't had a overwhelmingly sweet Carrick as of yet I agree let's meet and treat so right here they actually sell you the tea that they use in their own Kellogg is this a secret recipe I see they're sharing it how many tea do you serve in one day a thousand in a day yeah that isn't Wow I thought they were gonna like you know a couple hundred and stuff thousand five hundred tea a date oh I phone 11 uh callek business is good so the spices that are used in the characters as much as they add flavor they also have a positive impact on your house you know they they have anti-inflammatory properties they they're actually good for you so there's actually an added benefit to your health and your well-being time to get focused on what's important that's finishing off this tea and heading to the next amarant see there so we are in a milky way now which translates into the mother of two powers and this is the literally the third time I've ever been in this Ameren okay so enemy Dewayne we are outside a tea shop called mighty desi chai now they claim that they have the best they see chai in the United Arab Emirates huge claim and they even see they've been awarded for it so I want to find out one can they claim that and to what exactly was this award for the only way to find out by going in ourselves follow me all right I'm loving the the color I'm loving the design somewhere nice to sit average price point for a lot of these stores as a terms so these are a dump this is desi chai by mighty cafe let's take a look inside see that you know what they call that microphone this chai a 4.2 on the Google review the highest animal Dewayne and we are gonna see if this lives up to the test [Music] good texture so all they have branches and all these other countries you opened in Dubai then India yeah so you took the Chive ACTU India I love it but what is the special ingredient you use can you share that with me light yeah yeah in the abdomen how long do you cook the tea for before you pour it in the cup the total process of this tea is 90 minutes 90 minutes how many teas do you serve in a day 600 this is the Milky Way in one oh wow that's huge for the population by the way now the difference between my tea and all the other tea places that we've seen today is that this feels like a franchise like a business like it's been McDonald dies for lack of a better term the mysterious award and they've been awarded by the government of ahmadi Wayne for their role in the community serving their tea and sandwiches and giving back which is important for every business to do I believe I would give it a four point three thank you so keep up the hard work keep representing the best chai what a shot Allah you keep going shot Allah said I'm at it it's been an interesting thing I didn't think I'd be this far north in the United Arab Emirates but we've still got two more Emirates to go Russell Hema I'm Vaghela let's get to it fever we have now reached throstle Hema which translates into the head of the tent representing its position at the northernmost Emirates in the United Arab Emirates and a thing I love about this city in particular as it takes away to sort of things that you would never think are associated with this country number one mountains people think this country is just all desert and number two snow yes it gets really hot it also gets really cold to think about that all right so we have made it we're inside naina T it's one of these smaller places no seating so I assume that a lot of people who drink from this place get it on the go for that extra kick of energy so here we have an Emirati kadek loaded with saffron at the top very foamy this has gotten a 4.3 muscle famous infamous Emirati Kerik sweeter than all the cuts that we've had today I think the reason being it's the Emirati calyx so we as ours we've got a bit of a sweet tooth so they add a little bit of that sweetness in there nice and warm what makes this better than every color coated in cattle from Kerala that's the secret is going back to the source we have one more city left to go and that is pooja to test the final kalak of the day and we all have tried one tea in all seven emirates what a way to explore the country see you in four Jayla ha we have made it the seventh emirate for Jana so couple things about vagina vagina it's a lot more cooler than the rest of the United Arab Emirates and number two is that the Amman of fujairah is the only emirate to be located on the waters of the Indian Ocean now you know well here we are in for Jenna the Sun is setting it is beautiful and we're here to try our final hammock on this journey of discovering the best calyx in the United Arab Emirates and we are here at Fujita's nama Ocala that has gotten a 4.3 stars let's go and check it out it smells legit and that's how you know you're getting a good count this has been the best reviewed comic on Google okay so tell me what makes your calyx so good what's the secret getting ridiculous so saffron's your secret give it up quick so saffron and cardamom that is really good why I enjoyed that maybe it hit different because we're like at the end of the journey now so it's kind of like I'm savoring it a lot more so we have reached the end of this journey throughout the UAE discovering this beautiful drink in all its forms now I know you're expecting me to tell you that one of these choice stood out or amongst the rest but that's not what I learned today what I learned was how this simple drink ties us all together people from all walks of life people from all different backgrounds come together to enjoy this one dirham drink and for me it's the things in this world that tie us together that are truly beautiful and that is what we learned today much love god bless you [Music]
