Stockbridge is the home of Singh Street Cha and of some of the most famous independents in Edinburgh. It’s the quintessential Scottish high street. Let our team take you on a tour of definitive Stockbridge stops, from famed bakeries to eco-conscious clothing - in this blog, we proudly showcase our neighbouring family-run businesses.

Jaggery is a natural, unrefined sugar made from sugarcane and used for thousands of years across South Asia. Rich in minerals and antioxidants, it supports digestion, steady energy, and electrolyte balance while offering a more sustainable, flavour-rich alternative to refined white sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Cha is a traditional Punjabi tea that supports balanced energy, glowing skin, immunity and relaxation. At Singh Street Cha, Edinburgh’s only dedicated cha café, handcrafted blends like Kashmiri Rose Cha offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping you cut caffeine gently while enjoying a daily ritual rooted in culture and wellbeing.

We explore the story behind Singh Street Cha’s new retail tea blends. Rooted in Punjabi chai tradition and shaped by life in Edinburgh, our signature cha blends are now available to brew at home. Discover authentic, small-batch tea blends crafted for modern rituals, now available in our Stockbridge store.

When we began Singh Street Cha in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, the dream was to capture this cultural essence and make it part of everyday life here. 

Cha in the West is often reduced to a quick latte alternative, a vaguely spiced “chai tea” that has lost its roots. We wanted to restore its authenticity while also modernising it for today’s fast-moving world.
