Story, Folklore, History

 

Chai or Tea? Let’s Clear the Confusion!

The word "chai" is the generic Hindi term for "tea." In India, where spiced black tea is the most popular variety, "chai" has become synonymous with spiced tea. However, literally, "chai" simply means "tea" – nothing more, nothing less. This is why saying "chai tea" is essentially saying "tea tea," which doesn’t make much sense!

At our tea company, we use the word "chai" to refer to our spiced teas in recognition of how the term has evolved in Western culture. While we honor its origins, we also embrace the modern interpretation that has made "chai" a beloved term for spiced tea enthusiasts worldwide.

What Makes Chai Special?

  • Spiced Tradition: In India, chai typically refers to masala chai, a blend of black tea and aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.

  • Cultural Evolution: In the West, "chai" has come to represent spiced tea, often enjoyed as a creamy, sweet latte.

  • Versatility: Whether you prefer it traditional or modern, chai is a flavorful and comforting experience.
