Tea has been a favorite beverage around the world since ancient times. With
the mixing of local culture and preferences with global culture, with
glocalization and globalization, special blends of tea from countries around the
world have become more readily available.
With benefits of drinking tea becoming known, the demand has risen and with
demand has risen the supply and the variety in supply. That’s how chai or
“chai tea” as it is popularly known in the West became all the rage.
Chai tea is a favorite blend of mine. Chai is what tea is called in India
and many other places and is a preferred Indian beverage. More so than coffee.
Though Indians make tea with just loose tea leaves, milk and sugar, we almost
always add spices and other ingredients such as ginger, cardamom and tulsi, a
type of basil.
This probably started form our habit of including what we considered as
healthy herbs in everything we drank or ate. Ginger is considered to be good
for stomach and for purification of the body, tulsi is good for almost
everything including sinusitis, honey is healthy food, cardamom and cinnamon
add flavor and so on and so forth.
In India, this tea, called masala chai by Indians, and “chai tea” in
the West, is considered very special and a panacea for everything from fever
and common cold to heart diseases.
Add to this the benefits of ordinary tea such as presence of
antioxidants and drinking a cup of chai tea is considered incredibly good for
the body. The Big Train Chai Tea blend is a ready to use and delicious variety
of this spicy and sweet tea blend.
Big Train brings chai tea in many varieties such as Big Train Chai Vanilla,
