Chai, pronounced with a long "i" as in the word pie, is the actual word for tea in many countries. Chai tea is a rich and complex beverage that has been savored for centuries in many parts of the world, especially India.

In the most basic form, spiced chai tea is black drinking tea that is brewed strong with a combination of spices and is diluted with milk and sugar. The spices usually consist of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, pepper and ginger. Try our Cochin Masala Chai Tea!

Black tea, the base ingredient in chai tea, contains antioxidants which can help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Antioxidants are also believed to be beneficial to heart health. Research also suggests that antioxidants may help prevent cancer. Health benefits plus good taste is a winning combination.

Traditionally, Chai Tea is consumed hot and sweet. The sweetness is needed to bring out the full flavors of the spices. Chai Latte is just spiced tea mixed with milk that's steamed from an espresso machine. The steamed milk adds a soft foamy texture to the chai.

Using honey instead of sugar in chai tea can also be a good nutritional choice. Honey has antioxidants which can soothe sore throats and, in some cases, fight bacterial infections.
