Authentic Chai is brewed with milk and a mixture of spices. Each recipe can be different depending upon the spices used. Indian spiced chai is often referred to as Masala Chai. The word 'chai' literally means tea (different languages use various forms of this word - for example, Portuguese call it 'cha', Hindus call it chai, and in Chinese, the sound of the symbol for tea sounds very much like cha.) and 'masala' is the word for the mixture of the various spices - hence Masala Chai.
Numerous medical journals laud the health benefits of green tea. Top-quality high grown green teas - the type of base tea in this chai (and for that matter - black tea as well) contain a significant number of polyphenols which are antioxidants, elements known to inhibit various types of cancers. Additionally, recent research is also seeing a positive correlation between the consumption of tea and the lower incidence of heart disease. Another added benefit of chai is that the chai is prepared with milk - a good source of calcium and other essential nutrients. Green Tea Chai - the drink of health! Important: Turn your bag of Chai upside down a few times. The powdered spices can settle at the bottom of the bag during transit.
