Amai Chaya is a tea house inspired by Japanese philosophy, embracing simplicity, balance and zen to create small moments of calm and serenity in the heart of Curepipe.
The owners of the tea house have chosen Mauritian unrefined sugars to craft their desserts for their purity and clean, caramel-like taste. Beyond flavour, they strongly believe that using local ingredients is essential, as it grounds their work in Mauritius while expressing their interpretation of Japanese-inspired simplicity.
Mauritian unrefined sugars bring a delicate sweetness that blends naturally with the flavours of the cakes and desserts, subtly elevating every bite. Much like the Japanese philosophy that inspires the tea house, they bring a sense of balance to every creation — never overpowering, but always complementing the ingredients they accompany.
At Amai Chaya, the experience matters just as much as the taste. By carefully selecting the finest ingredients, the tea house aims to reveal flavours at their highest expression, creating a true moment of escape and bliss for every visitor.
At MSS, we are proud to see local artisans celebrating the unrefined sugars of our island with such authenticity — a beautiful way of showcasing the richness of our land through everyday creations.
