Frequently Asked Questions – Chai Street

What Is Chai?

Chai simply means tea. In India, chai is a comforting blend of black tea, spices, milk, and sweetness — slow-cooked to create a rich, flavourful drink. It’s the cup that brings people together, the taste that feels like home, and the tradition that has travelled across generations.

You’ll hear many names like Masala Chai, Sticky Chai, or the famous (and funny) “Chai Tea.”
But don’t worry — here’s the simple truth:

• Chai = Tea

• Masala Chai = Spiced Tea (Masala means spices)

• Sticky Chai = Masala Chai mixed with honey

So when someone says “chai tea,” they’re basically saying tea tea — and yes, we smile every time we hear it!

Why So Many Chai Variations?

Across the world, tea has different names — cha in China, çay in Turkey — but in India, chai is a way of life. The variations simply come from different blends, spices, and styles of preparation.
At Chai Street, we stay true to the Indian way: real spices, real tea, real flavour.
