History of Chai
Chai, with its origins deeply rooted in the tea traditions of China, embarked on a transformative journey that led it to become a cherished global beverage. Introduced to India by the British East India Company in the 19th century, tea faced initial resistance but found widespread acceptance during a 20th-century economic downturn.
The birth of Masala Chai, a spiced tea enriched with cardamom, ginger, and spices, marked a distinctive chapter in chai’s evolution.
During the 1940s, as the movement for independence gained momentum in India, chai transformed from an imperialist drink to a symbol of unity and freedom. Chai became a beverage of the people, resonating with a newfound sense of national identity and freedom.
