About The Chai Uluwatu Tea House

The Chai Uluwatu swaps the usual cafe espresso buzz for a slow, air-conditioned sanctuary dedicated entirely to loose-leaf tea. Step off the sun-baked road into cool, muted calm. Guests sniff loose leaves from the tea menu before settling in for a ceremonial table pour, pairing rare Chinese harvests or masala chai with handmade steamed dumplings and hummus toast.

  • Ceremonial Tea Rituals: A dedicated loose-leaf program served in ceremonial table sets with zero coffee on the menu.
  • 100% Plant-Based Dining: Steamed handmade dumplings, seitan burgers, and fresh bowls prepared without meat, egg, or fish.
  • Quiet Uluwatu Refuge: Air-conditioned, low-lit seating designed to escape the midday coastal heat.
