Chai tea, or more accurately, masala chai, was invented in India.
Chai, often referred to in Western cultures as "chai tea," actually translates to "tea tea." The correct term is "masala chai," which refers to a blend of spices ("masala") steeped into a tea beverage. Its origins trace back over 5,000 years to the Assam region of India. This aromatic and flavorful drink is an integral part of Indian culture and has gained global popularity over the years.
