Where Did Chai Tea Originate?

Legend has it that an Indian king, over 5,000 years ago, combined spices, tea, and milk to create a healing beverage. Chai means “tea” in Hindi.

The tradition of chai tea spread over the Indian continent early in its inception. Irani chai is made from Iranian tea leaves plus regional spices.

Different Types of Chai in India

Eastern India

Chai from eastern India is served in clay cups which lend an earthy flavor combined with the spicy tones.

In southern India, chai is served with a creamy froth created from vigorous shaking prior to pouring into glasses.
