About Chai

Chai, a spiced tea originating from South Asia, is a flavorful blend of black tea, milk, spices, and sweeteners. Common spices include cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper, creating its signature warming and aromatic profile. Known traditionally as "chai masala," it has been cherished for centuries in Indian cuisine as both a comforting beverage and a cultural staple. Chai offers several health benefits due to its ingredients: antioxidants from black tea may support heart health, while spices like ginger and cinnamon can aid digestion and reduce inflammation. However, depending on preparation, chai can be high in sugar and calories, especially if sweetened generously or made with whole milk. To maximize health benefits, opt for unsweetened or lightly sweetened versions and consider plant-based milk options. Rich in flavor and tradition, chai is both nourishing and indulgent when enjoyed in moderation.
