Meet the twin sisters, first-generation Afghan Americans, who decided to bring their favorite traditional drink, Sheer Chai, to the world in a convenient, ready-to-go format. Growing up in an Afghan household, they cherished the comforting ritual of sipping this rich, spiced milk tea, a staple in their culture. With a passion for sharing their heritage and a love for bold flavors, they created Milk Chai, blending the timeless flavors of Sheer Chai with modern convenience, so everyone can experience the warmth and joy of this Afghan tradition—anytime, anywhere.

Zareena and Wana founded Milk Chai not only to share their beloved tradition of Sheer Chai, but also to shine a positive light on Afghanistan amid the devastating circumstances that have plagued their homeland for over four decades. With a deep commitment to their heritage, they launched the company as a way to give back and support Afghan women entrepreneurs, offering a platform for empowerment and opportunity. Through their business, Zareena and Wana aim to fight back against the hardships faced by their country, using their success in America to uplift and champion Afghan women, showing resilience and hope in the face of adversity
