With varied recipes shaped by regional preferences, chai has become a beloved fixture in tea and coffee shops worldwide.
The term "chai" itself is derived from the Hindi word for "tea," rooted in the Chinese word "cha." Often referred to as "masala chai" or "spiced chai," this aromatic concoction evolved over 5,000 years ago in the Assam region. Legend has it that an Indian king blended warm spices into a medicinal drink, marking the beginnings of chai's illustrious history. As the recipe spread across India, each region added its unique twist, resulting in diverse interpretations of this beloved spiced tea.
Chai's transformative journey continued with the introduction of black tea leaves, milk, and sugar in the mid-1800s, a British influence that shaped the modern chai we cherish. From its humble origins, chai has transcended borders and continents, adapting to various tea types and flavours. Its versatility, captivating flavour profiles, and rich cultural heritage make chai a timeless and cherished beverage enjoyed by millions around the world.
