Chai Tea from India
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Chai (or Masala Chai) is a term for spiced tea from India. The Chinese character for tea, 茶, is pronounced in Mandarin Chinese as "chá", and is the source of words for tea in many Eastern languages, hence "chai" in Central, South, and Southwest Asian languages as well as in Eastern and Central Europe and North and East Africa. "In the United States, many people refer to Indian tea as Chai tea, a redundancy (since chai means tea). In India, prepared tea is sold in many varieties, the most famous being "masala chai" ([masālā cay]). Masala is the Hindi word for spice, and the spice mixture is sold as "chai masala." Chai is widely popular in India, and is also a relatively popular beverage in coffeehouses in other countries. (Source: Wikipedia)
