Originating from India, chai is a mix of black tea, milk, sugar, and aromatic spices like cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. It holds cultural importance in Indian society, where it is enjoyed not just as a drink but as part of daily social rituals. The celebration encourages people around the world to savor the comforting warmth of chai, explore new recipes, and appreciate its historical roots and global influence.
Chai has evolved beyond its traditional recipe, and now there are numerous variations, from iced chai to different blends featuring unique spices or sweeteners. National Chai Day is also a reminder of chai’s journey from Indian homes to cafes worldwide, making it a symbol of cross-cultural connection and comfort.
