Chai is tea
with spices. Most people in the North West part of India, such as the
Gujara and Maharashtra regions drink their tea with spices, milk and
sugar. Traditional chai has ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom. Chai can
also be blended with lemon grass and fennel. Black pepper has appeared
in some blends, but this is rare. All the blends of chai sold at Tea
Laden do not contain black pepper, since this does not enhance the
flavor or aroma of the tea.
